getting ready

The past couple of weekends we've been busy getting ready for our new addition, Mercy! Her room has definitely been transformed from boyish to girlish. It's still odd for me, but it is fun to see pink on a wall!:) I find myself asking, "Where is is, or where is that?"...baby things that we need. Like, "Where's that great mobile that Rachael gave me?, or where's the changing table pad?" I've found most of it shoved up in the closet in Mercy's room.

Since all of Aedan's clothes will move to the closets in Josiah's room, we needed more rods put it. The attachments (to put the rods on) were already there, so we just needed to get rods that actually fit and that would stay put. The ones that were there, continually fell off, which was very annoying when all of the hung clothes would slide off and fall to the ground. Here's Ryan cutting the rods:)

finished rod! I'm grateful for the two big closets that are in the boys' room. They are perfect!

Here's a picture of the curtains, on the lime green wall...next to the bumper that will go in the crib.

Ryan: the expert line taper:)

taped and painted...waiting to dry!

Finished wall on the closet side of the room

Yay! Josiah pointing to the pink stripe!

I got this dresser while in Clemson, and had painted it to match...the greens still look great in the room, but the blue knobs were a little out of place. We found pink knobs that matched at Lowes for 75 cents each! We still need to get washers to attach to the back to make them fit better, but you can see how it should look from this picture:)
