Yesterday afternoon was the time for projects! Drew was a champion sleeper (see bottom photo) and let us crank out some work on the master bedroom and the bathroom.... see tomorrow's post for more about that. After his four hour nap Drew snuggled with AJ (Drew is a cuddler and doesn't let us forget it) so I used that time to work on a quick project. The blind in our bathroom was hideous... it was disgusting and it would always go down at an angle and stay there so it looked like we lived in a tenement (my mother's favorite expression whenever something didn't look quite right at her house). I had one white curtain left over from single life so I decided to figure out a way to use it in the bathroom. I stuck five nails at the top of the molding and looped the curtain around it and then used some neat rope that I found at JoAnn's for another project to tie it back... I'm trying to work the beach theme with what I have. I don't think I'd ever do the one curtain look like this if I wasn't trying to spend zero dollars but necessity is the mother of invention!
Once the bathroom was slightly better looking we decided to give Drewbie a bath...

| He was not a happy camper for his first bath in the tub... we just kept the foam mat under him... and then here he is slightly less unhappy in his little doggy bathrobe. |

Just found your blog - love it!! I sent you a link to my photo blog, hope you don't mind. My son is 9mo now and we purchased our home when he was a day old. We are doing the same exact thing as you...except our pace seems to be a little slower haha. It was so great to be able to do so much work then, but now that he is mobile it's impossible! So get everything done NOW! :) Looking forward to reading more.

ReplyDeleteHow did you find our blog? You have some great photography on your site.
I can imagine how it is impossible for you to get any work done... I love his nap times so I have a few minutes to work on projects!
