So here it is kids. I’m pretty proud of our hard work. JUST IN TIME for the arrival of T&S:
Sorry- I know it’s an overwhelming amount of pictures, but it was actually hard to narrow it down. I am so in love with this space I cannot even tell you. The rest of the house be damned. I will be hanging out HERE. Now, with Hudson at my Mom’s until tomorrow night I will work downstairs tomorrow & Tuesday morning I have the cleaning ladies coming to deep clean and make stuff all purrrty.
I dunno what I can tell you about the nursery- but most of it was pretty DIY, so if you have questions about furniture, features or even toys- let me know! I’d love to share.
It’s been a long time coming & I definitely need to thank John Bo, the hubster, my sister-in-laws, Aunt Sharon & Uncle Mike, my friends- everyone who came over and helped my handicap ass get this DONE. Not a moment too soon. I love you guys copious amounts.
PS: All of the pics can be enlarged twice to see detail!

I am wicked jealous! It’s so clean and fresh and fun! We used the same (?) square storage bookcases in Baby Evan’s room and love them but yours just look so much more hip.

Suzanne: they are the Ikea expedit shelving. It really helped me get my work stuff & toys organized while still looking good! Can’t beat that for $150! I heart Ikea.

Terri it is cork board covered in fabric from Ikea. Bought the squares for 5 dollars (for 4) at Staples and the fabric was 5.99 a yard. Krust covered them and then we nailed them up. I loved the fabric and wanted to find a way to use it.

Very cute, and I love love the colored picture frames, did you spray them or buy them that way??? do tell your secrets

Emily the room looks really great and i especially like the fact that squidoo got his own action shot.
[Reply]
March 1st, 2010 - 11:51 AM
Terri: TJ Maxx Homegoods is the shiz. Those frames were all bought that way for around $5-$10. They have pretty much every color imaginable. Also- the throw pillows on the futon were $15.00 for the set of two @ Homegoods. Best. Store. Ever.
Marrrrrioooo: Squidoo is so awesome that it makes me sad when Hudson touches him because I’m afraid something will happen to him!That’s kinda sad- but it’s true.

These pictures are great, but seeing it in person made it even better. It’s SO NICE!!! I’m still in awe of how you made a limited size space be so open, pretty, and most importantly, functional!!
You will be called upon to help me decorate my first home.

My favorite spot in the house!
I Love the rocking chair, the carpet! the built-in bookshelves, the frames, the cribs, the expedit!, and everything. It all turned out amazing. Thank you for letting me help a little here an there, although I know I didn’t spend much time at all. but, it was special to be a part of!
I Love playing with Hudson up there, I can’t wait to play Truman, Sawyer AND Hudson at once! weeeeeeeeee. I’m really trying to contain my excitement, but 2 days left!?!?!?! I’m losing it. <3 you all so so much!

Hey did you buy your bamboo plant that tall or has it grown that tall over time? I have one that I’ve had for almost two years and it hasn’t grown what-so-ever. Do you just water it or do you”feed” it anything?
[Reply]
March 1st, 2010 - 8:39 PM
That Bamboo was purchased at about 8” tall per stalk & it’s probably about 3′ tall now. I just put the stalks in river rocks in a vase. Fill the vase with water. Never change the water or clean the rocks. Just add more water every week or when I notice it getting low. It needs a ton of light. The root balls on my two bamboo arrangements are HUGE.

how strange!!! I wonder why mine hasn’t grown at all. I’m going to ikea this weekend to buy some new ones. I think I got this one from walmart. Stupid gross walmart!
PS you should submit these pics to http://iheartbaby.tumblr.com/page/4

I have a set from IKEA that started at about 3-4” tall. I got them when I lived in San Mateo circa 6 or 7 years ago and now they are a few feet tall too. Ikea has pretty healthy Bamboo. Or next time you are in town, San Francisco has a flower wholesale mart that is amazing. I got the bamboo in the playroom there back about a month before Scott and I got married- so almost 5 years ago. Both plants are still going amazing.

Melissa: the tree is hand painted. The frames are from TJ maxx and the actual room with the cribs is only about 10×8. The loft was
my office before but I had to give it up for the kids!
