kempers' nursery.


So, I finally got some work done one Kempers' room. Working on and updateing the whole house, has left me feeling a little overwhelmed, which then makes me feel unmotivated. But, today we finally got the art up on the wall in little mans nursery. I want to put family photos up on the wall too, but I'm collecting funky frames to put them in.
So... refer back to this post for the before, his room is upstairs.





So, nothing too elaborate, but I like how open it feels now. The framed art was all made my me, and I bought the tapestry for eight bucks at a consignment shop. That huge (heavy) mirror was left in the house when we moved in, and I thought it might make a fun play area, and I was right. Kemper is obsessed with his reflection, in a cute and not yet conceited way. I'm thinking about also reupholstering the rocking chair, but I've never done it before and haven't found any fabric I like. And I'm going to be looking for some cubes/bookshelf for his toys to be on display and easy to grab.
So... one room down, a million more to go.

It looks awesome! I love the look of old panel walls painted. It's funny because the style of the room looks like I remember you dressing:) Is that weird? That must be your style. I love it. I love consignment shops too. The art was such an awesome inexpensive idea!! You have to tell me, now that you have put your heart and sole into re-doing this house. Are you guys getting orders and leaving as soon as T.J. gets back?? It looks so good Beth.

Thanks!! I just have to try and get the rest of the house done, its been a little crazy. And actually, TJ's contract is up in September, and he's not going to re-enlist. He probably would, but he's not very fond of his job-field. So we'll be in this house for a while. We're not sure how long, but it will be and on going project :]
