Well, we are beginning to feel a bit settled and that is in part due to the fact that Abby's room is almost done! The walls are painted green and the ceiling is a light pink. Andy and I have spent the past couple weeks priming, painting, and sanding the furniture we purchased for her room last April from craigslist. Only a few more pieces to paint and then I can accessorize!
Abby really wanted a canopy bed with curtains that went all around. After researching this out and discovering such look came with a $$$$ price tag...I set out to create it myself. The curtain rods hanging from the ceiling are from Ikea as well as the white curtains and girly chandelier (ignore it right now, it's not quite finished yet). We still need to install the chair rail that goes between the pink and green so ignore that part as well.
Hanging curtains from the ceiling is no easy task!!! and I am pleased to say that Andy and I are still married after doing it! Ha Ha. I thought Andy was really going to lose it when a few (well a lot) of things didn't go according to plan. Pluse my pregnant brain wasn't helping much.
In the end we had one very happy little girl. She has slept the past 2 nights with the curtains closed all the way around her bed. Now if only we can keep Jacob from hanging on them and pulling everything out of the ceiling! (my worst fear) We are screwed into 3 studs and 2 dry wall anchors so hopefully it won't.
Sorry about the terrible pictures. It's hard to get the right angle in her small room and it was at night shen I shot these...plus I forgot to buy light bulbs for the chandelier so there is only small lamp lighting. I'll post better pictures when the entire room is done.
