Project Mode

With the Lamp’s impending arrival I’ve jumped head first into project mode. With Beanie I didn’t have a nursery to decorate…I had a 3 foot stretch of wall in which to place a mini-crib. So now we’re moving the studio up to the attic and making an official nursery for Lamp. At first I was sad to let go of my studio, but now I’m really excited. The attic will be a studio/play room and the nursery will be an actual nursery. So I’m trying to finish up some a long list of projects before we make the big move. One thing I finally finished today is Beanie’s quilt for her big girl bed. Remember that old thing? After my ‘crib confessional’ I don’t think we’re going to worry about the actual big girl bed for a while, but at least the quilt is done.

{As you can see, one reason I have a hard time decorating is that I hate limiting myself to a color palette. I just want any and all colors to work at any given time, in any given space. Especially for Beanie’s room…I just think a kids room should be colorful. Anywho…}

Next on the list:

1. Paint mini-crib

2. Paint desk

3. Paint nursery {I’m planning a purple nursery…I’m kinda excited. Ok, so maybe I can do a color scheme…maybe.}

It feels good to be productive. I know I when the baby comes I’ll be headed for a period of non-productivity… and I’m cool with that.
