Projects

I am bound and determined to have the baby's nursery done before she gets here, so that means lots and lots of projects. My mom gave me an old window to put in the baby's room and I was going to hang a wreath on it, but then my oh so clever hubby said, "You should do a window box on the bottom of the window." He is so crafty. :) So, I headed to W*l-mart and found a wood window box for $10. I got home and it was a little to large and brown. My hubby cut it in half and I painted it white and gave the old window a new coat of paint and then Jas attached the window box to the window...see below.
Sorry about the white blanket on the coffee table,
but I didn't want the window to scratch the paint on the table.
Hanny and I made a trip to W*l-mart and R*berts for flowers and we began our crafting.
I did insert craft foam in the planter box, so that the flowers would stay where I put them.
Here is the finished project. I think it turned out cute. I may make a few changes if I find different kinds of flowers. I probably should just leave it alone, since you know if I touch it now I will probably ruin the whole thing.
I love all the color!!
Obviously, there is a lot of pink, but what little girl doesn't like pink right?

Here is a nightstand I am currently working on. It will be white when I am done and will go in the nursery next to the single bed in there.
I am also painting this dresser white for the nursery.

I am almost done with the nightstand and dresser, so stay tuned for the after pictures.
