Well, the the polka dots are finished! It was surprisingly easy - I got it done in about an hour! This is a corner of the room-
This is Kevin painting a dot - but don't let this picture fool you - I took over the dot painting. :) We painted them with a stencil sponge thingy - you're supposed to use it to fill in stencils, but it was a circle, so it worked perfectly.
We also picked up our furniture today! Kevin is definitely nesting - he put it together tonight:
And then I had to put the bedding on it immediately. Disclaimer: I have not washed or ironed the bedding yet - so it is a bit wrinkly. :) And, I can't figure out the bumper, so it is just kind of sitting in there.
This is Olive, wondering why we kept standing in this room and saying, "Wow, this is weird." (A good, wonderful weird, mind you!)
Suddenly, it is all becoming more real!!

The dots look awesome! Very professional! I also haven't figured my bumper out either...it's supposed to tie but then how do you get the rail up and down? I guess by the time they are big enough that you actually need to lower the rail (because you've moved the mattress down) maybe you don't need a bumper anymore???
ReplyDeleteOOOOH! I'm getting SO excited!
i love it...that is so cute. can't wait to see pictures of your little micah in there. have a great week!
