More Shower Decor!

I can only take credit for the idea, Shelly did all of the work cutting and sewing the letters. I can't believe how cute they turned out!! They will hang on a clothesline at the shower, with a honey bee on either end.

Seussing it up!

Added a bit more decor to the playroom. Finally got rid of the terrible blinds, too! Hopefully this will be a nursery someday soon, too!

I saw this at Ikea months ago and had to get it since it totally looks like One Fish, Two Fish Red Fish, Blue Fish. It's just hanging in a corner for now. I added the red and white ribbons.

Hat is from Pottery Barn Kids, I got the Cat in the Hat toy at a teacher supply store and the H is for our last name.

And finally the new curtains from Ikea! You'd be amazed how hard it is to find simple, inexpensive red curtains!

Now all we need (besides the baby, lol) is a nicer lamp!

Baby Shower Preparations

  • Aug 7, 2009

Here's some of the decor I'm working on for Baby Ben's big party! I'm so excited to be throwing a baby shower for my BFF and her first baby!!


The nursery theme is Classic Pooh so we're going with that but in a more subtle way (since we couldn't find much in the way of cute Classic Pooh party supplies) with a color scheme of green (mom-to-be's fave color), yellow and choc brown.

Hunny Pots

They still need some foam and moss but you get the idea! There will be 5 of these.

Change the sheets on the bed


Clean the kitchen - including the inside of the fridge and organize a few drawers

Clean the bathroom


Dust

Vacuum

Mop

Vacuum the curtains in the living room since they are covered in cat hair (thanks Ram)

I have a new bathtub!

It's cast iron so it's REALLY heavy. Boy was I glad I wasn't the one to put this baby in!

And just for fun, here's pictures of the bathroom without walls!

It's rather sad that the bathroom looks better gutted than it did before....
