Current Phase: Nesting!


I'm totally and completely in the nesting phase right now. Benefits: I have the motivation to actually to some personalization in our home, instead of leaving it a nearly balnk canvas as I usually do. I've always loved the idea of having our home really "Tomlinson-ized", but never really wanted to spend the time and effort to figure out how to do it, so the hormonal need to make things look nice is a great kick in the pants. Downside: We do not have thousands of dollars lying around, and/or a fulltime nanny to take care of Alexis while I research/shop/paint/sew/whatever. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to be happy doing what I can do when I can do it. The priorities right now are 1) painting Nameless Baby's room, and 2) sewing blackout curtains for the two little windows in Lexi's room. Today I got the paint for the base color in Nameless Baby's room. Turned out I could buy enough paint to cover every wall for the same price as it would cost to buy enough paint to cover just one accent wall, so I may just do that since I've got enough paint (top color in the picture). Then I'm going to paint a bunch of dots of various sizes on one accent wall, the wall with the crib against it (the other three colors). Wayne and I should be able to put up the base paint some night this week, and I'll do the dots little by little, when I have time. I was going to do them during Lexi's naps, but I can't really count on those anymore... Feel free to ask me how the project is going anytime you see me/talk to me. I really don't want to let my motivation die off before it gets done, but I can see that happening...
EDIT: on my monitor, the second color looks black, it's not. It's a dark brown. All these colors come from the baby's bedding.
