Chandler's Room!

Have a mentioned that I have absolutely NO TALENT at all for decorating???  BUT...I'm pretty good at finding ridiculously nice people who are really good at it and are willing to help...and by "help" I mean, do it all while I sit back and nod my head in approval.  For Chandler's room, I recruited Mom to be the decorator and I couldn't be any more pleased with the results!!  Here are a few before and after pics...

Wall 1

Before:

After:

My sister-in-law, Ashley, was so crazy nice to let us borrow this crib and paint it black to match the room!!  I LOVE the way it turned out!  She also let us borrow the cute little rocking lamb that just fits perfectly!

For the letters, I was thinking zebra stripe and Mom was thinking black with green polkadots.   When we hung practice letters above the crib neither one looked quite right...and then Mom remembered seeing something like this on-line and it was the perfect solution!!

Wall 3

After:

My sister-in-law also let us borrow and paint this changing table.  Isn't she the best?  My crafty mother did the knobs to match the room.

Mom found this cute picture on-line, but the website wouldn't let us print it off. So...I took a picture with my phone and e-mailed it to myself so I could print it off my e-mail.  Technology is FABULOUS!  Then Mom used that picture as her template to paint this crazy cute canvas and it actually looks better than the original!  Way to go, Sue!!

Wall 4

Before:

After:

Handprints and footprints will go in the green and white frames and a sonogram picture is in the black frame, but it is really hard to see it in this picture.

The room is really small so it is hard to get far enough back to get a good picture of an entire wall AND I feel like, as always, the room is cuter in person than it appears in the pictures...so come see it soon in real life!  I'm so excited that it is finished, though, with just 4 weeks to spare!

I'm 36 weeks now and I'm still feeling great, but I am done playing tennis.  I had a doctor's appointment today and everything is looking good (heartrate 133, measuring on track and is still head down).  I am going weekly now, but they won't start checking for "signs of labor" for 2 more weeks.  I'll keep you posted!
