First I cleaned up ALL the furniture, it didn't take as long as I thought it would probably because its actually in great condition! Afterward when Joey got home, we started moving everything in!
Heres a some what final product, I say somewhat because Ive changed/added things since I took these initial pictures! I'll update more in the future with more final pictures as I add more, paint, etc.
Caution: the bedding I have on the guest bed DOES NOT match and its driving me NUTS. Also, that bed is WAY too big for that room! Once its actually a nursery (aka once I actually become pregnant lol) it'll be a lot more spacious with a crib instead of a bed!
this is a view from the door way/hallway
this is one (of two) of the glass top bedside tables. My scrapbooks finally found a home! (and I've already changed the stuff on top- 3x actually!) I do need to get something to stick in between the glass and table to help it stay put- as of right now, that glass slides RIGHT off! No bueno!
this is the future changing table! I wasnt sure whether or not I wanted to put the mirror on it or not, but decided to go ahead- mainly because I didn't want it sitting in the garage until we turn this in to a full nursery. but I think it looks okay!
left side of the dresser, with my Grandmother's magnolia (which I love) and the folded up luggage holder (which I've since moved...2x ha!)
Right side of the dresser. I'm not really sure if this stuff will stay but I've BEEN looking for somewhere to stick my jewelry box so..yeah. The bear is mine from when I was a baby/little girl :) the hankie is from our wedding,and the jewelry box is my first "big girl" jewelry box my parents gave me!
This is the chest of drawers :) I love the way this turned out, it truly did turn out exactly how I pictured it!
from left to right: the picture frame Claire & Nick gave us when they asked us to be Lilliana's God Parents (lilly bean is the cute little one on the canvas above everything!), my book ends that USED to be lamps holding books, and Joey's Last Rights Cross that was given to him at his Confirmation (which should be hanging on the wall by the bed but I don't want to hang it until I know itll be there permanently!). I'm VERY happy with how this turned out :)
So thats where we are :) I'm pretty happy with how everythings progressing and can't wait to put more work in to it!!
Afterward we got motivated to rearrange Joey's man cave! Heres some pictures of its new look-- LOTS more room (for activities as Step Brothers would say!)
The dresser the TV is sitting on was actually from Joey's room growing up, and WAS in the guestroom/nursery but we moved it in to the mancave when we brought the new furniture in. He DID have a HUGE entertainment center in there but it was just waaay too big! So now theres plenty of room ("for activities") and NOW when we have guests over its MUCH easier to pull the futon out and not have to move the entire room around!
We also added another shelf in the living room, but I'm way too tired to get in to that! I stared workin' on all this when I got home at 5:30 tonight. And its now 9:30 and we JUST had a quick tuna melt dinner! Needless to say we are both wiped out and I'm SURE we'll have no problem sleeping hard tonight!
Like I said, I've already changed stuff a FEW times. AND I have about a million more ideas with stuff I found around the house throughout all of this. But for tonight? this busy bee is DONE!
Gnight all! Cheers!!
