8 1/2 Months

It's done!

I finally finished my baby room. All the little projects are done, so now I can focus on cleaning the rest of my house ("nesting") to make sure it's all ready when the baby arrives... any day now. :) I can't believe I'm going to be a mom in a matter of days, it's impossible to really grasp.

Changing station. We painted the shelves and chest of drawers and added the hardware. Aaron spray painted an old metal trash can we had and I made some liners out of pillowcases for the diaper pail. We're doing cloth diapers so it'll get emptied everyday (and I got some all-natural odor spray, so we'll see how that works).

The rocking chair belonged to my Grandma (Dad's mom). I painted it white, made the cushion and embroidered it.

We found these magazines at a friends garage sale. Children's magazines from 1926. They are so precious, and almost all of the content is stories (even the ads). My favorite sections in them are The Joy Giver's Club, and The Good Citizens League. So different from kids stuff today...

We also painted the crib (a craig's list find) and I made the bumper. I also made the curtains. After all that sewing I'm definitely not doing any more for some time.
