So Close...

TO BEING DONE!!

Well I "put my shoulder to the wheel " and spent every spare minute in the last few days into finishing Taycees room and it is ALMOST done. Here are some pictures as proof!
This was the first wall to be done. Here we are starting to paint the squares.....


and here is the finished wall.... The letters say "Has anyone seen my glass slipper?"



This is the wall with the letters I painted. Which, by the way, were not easy to center and hang. Big thanks to my cute hubby who was so patient through this whole process holding and moving and drilling and "re-doing" until I was happy. He was such a trooper and I couldn't have done it without his help!









Here is a wider view of that wall/corner.


This is a wide view of the other corner of the room.

I went everywhere and tried to find block letters I liked to put on this shelf. After my search yesterday still proved to be unfruitful I decided I would just make my own! I am still toying with the idea of getting smaller blocks and putting the letters "l-i-t-t-l-e" on them to put on top of the angel blocks... any opinions on that? Also... that is a picture frame next to the letters... it will remain empty till Taycee is born.


Here is the wall of the room that still needs a little work. We are replacing the tan futon cover with a dark chocolate brown. That should be here Tuesday. I am making a pink and brown pokadot table cover for the end table in the corner. I don't know when I will get to that, my creative juices are starting to dwindle. And of course we are missing one of the curtain valances. It has been ordered and also will be here Tuesday.

This is the final light switch wall.


So what do ya think?.... not to shabby.


I have to make a special note to our Dear Aunt Kathy. This last general conference Jeffery R Holland talked about the angels we have on earth among us. Kathy is one of our angels. She came shopping with me on Thursday as I went to get most of the things we needed to finish Taycees room. And she bought ALL of it. Not to mention she is making a quilt for Taycee as well. This is not the first nor I am sure the last time she will do something so generous for us. We are so grateful for her generosity towards us. WE LOVE YOU AUNT KATHY!

That was so sweet Jill, thanks. You shouldn't give me so much credit because you bought most of the bedding and furniture and stuff. I just bought a couple of little extras like the lamp and the pillows. I love my family and there isn't anything I would rather do than spend time with you all and help you. I told Chris that maybe someday when I'm old and he is making big bucks as an engineer, you'll have to help me. I know none of us will be here forever and these are the things that will keep me in your thoughts. Looks like you are almost ready and thanks again for the sweet blog.

Love,

Aunt Kathy
