Our Bedroom!

I know. I know. I am so far behind. Truth is, our room is still not "done". Then again, from what I have seen, making a home home is never truly done. I am still a little worried about the curtains. Every time I go to pull out the sewing machine something comes up. Hopefully I will have them up soon though. In the meantime, this is our room!

We were able to paint our room during the first weekend we were there. Our first night in the house was Easter. This was our makeshift tv stand. :)

Unfortunately, we were not able to hang blinds during the first week were there working on the house. Our first night was spent with makeshift curtains (duct tape and tablecloths).

Thankfully, my parents actually came by and offered to help with a few things that they knew we were having trouble with. Blinds were huge on our list! They hung them in our bedroom and in the living room for us. Blinds are WONDERFUL!!!!!


I repainted this frame above our bed. That wonderful antiquing medium acrylic I talk about all of the time turned our white frame into our aged frame. Pretty easy to see which baby picture belongs to who, right? :)

These His and Hers hangers beside our closet were collected for my future bathroom years ago. They never had the chance to hang there. They fit our room nicely though. I'm thinking stockings for them come Christmas.

These shelves were ridiculously troublesome. Warning: These were Better Homes & Gardens shelves. First of all, they advertise as shelve(s), not one shelf. That was my first mistake. Second of all, these floating shelves had the worst directions I have ever seen and I am not just saying that because we are new to home projects by ourselves. My sweet husband did hang them Saturday though!

The rocking chair is on loan from my mother. I love it in our room!

There is one more thing. Justin's grandmother began knitting us an afghan about a month after we were married. She used our wedding colors for the pattern and estimated it would be finished in a year. Well, she finished today and surprised us with it at lunch. It was incredibly sweet of her and we are both excited to have it.
