Baby Room begins...

Well, now that august is almost over, i've finally begun the baby's room. Thanks to andrew, who, on the night of july 30th said, " well, meagan, is there anything else you're going to do in the girls' room? because if there is you have 24 hours to do it and then you have to MOVE on!" i did (mostly) meet my july goal of finishing the girls' room but haven't taken any good pictures yet.

But here's a "before" of the baby's room which also happens to be a fairly accurate "current" photo:

Anyway, i have several goals for the baby's room but the 2 biggest are:
1. complete it by the end of August (HA!)
2. complete it within  my baby room budget that i earned from the garage sale this summer.  Andrew put up with his garage stuffed with junk for almost 9 months because i kept telling him that if we kept it all to sell i'd try my very hardest to decorate the baby's room with our earnings! yay for a goal (no matter how unrealistic they might be!)

So, i might be really bummed and a little embarrassed if it doesn't work out but I'm going to try and keep track of everything on this handy dandy blog. I'm not counting things that i already bought before the goal was set or that were given to me or that i just decide to leave out because its messing with my goal! :) ha.

This is what came in the mail last week. It took me FOREVER to decide on which fabrics to order but then i discovered that on fabric.com shipping is free if its over $35.00 as well as return shipping so i ended up ordering everything that caught my eye and will return the left-overs. These fabrics are among the finalists.

And here's what i need fabric for:
Crib skirt
Curtains
Pillow
Foot stool cover
Quilt?
Decor accessory related things

The next 4 days while andrew is on a trip, i'm going to work on wall paint colors, fabric elimination, spray paint projects, and clearing out the rest of the junk out of the room....or, i'll just get caught up on a couple of movies i've been wanting to see...
