Overhaul

I hadn't finished Alexys' room until today. She's more than 8 months old. Oops. I'm still not done perse, but I made a big jump today. I'll just let you see instead of explaining!!!

This is what the bedroom looked like BEFORE Alexys came (way back when we moved in!). Not so hot...all that green made me feel sick!!!

This is the curtain topper I just put up today. I am a genius because it did not involve a curtain rod. It is simply clipped to the curtain header. It took me a long time to figure that out, but I'm so glad I did.

These are the frames that are going to contain artwork that Alexys' Uncle Nick is designing for her. Maybe he'll feel pressured now that I announced it to the world (haha, yeah right!).

I hate how the letters are hanging and I'm going to redo them, but for now it'll do. I spent SO long painting those letters, ever so perfectly, I figured they need to hang ASAP.

There are two more wall projects to be done in her room and then it'll be "complete". I'll take more pictures of those projects (hopefully) tomorrow. They weren't quite finished yet.

I also redid my pantry (again) today. It looks beautiful after utilizing my new Tupperware. Definitely more space and more organized. I took before and after pictures just for you (seriously, my husband told me I'm a dork):

Before

After

If you really care, you could click to get a better idea of the new organization standard.

I also cleaned my microwave (ewww, ick...remind me to do that more often), took out my recycling...there's more, but I hear a crying baby.

Pretty ! arent the pictures of your pantry before and after flipped? The "before" one looks more organized and more Tupperware there.
If it makes you feel better sydney's room is not finished neither, my husband sleeps there now ...

Oh! Are the pictures flipped? Because I was kind of thinking it looks a bit like you actually messed everything up... but then I thought I'd better not say anything but now that somebody else said something... nevermind.
