New Bathroom and Sneak Peak of the Nursery

Tatum's bathroom is completely finished!  Since we do not have a shower in our master bathroom, we were walking across the house (not a long distance) to shower in the extra bathroom in our sitting/dining room.  Well, now that Add has her bathroom finished we just walk down the hall and shower in hers.  We're not really sure how this will work out once she gets her since we won't want to wake her up but we'll figure it out.  Here is the old and new bathroom!

There was a stand-up shower in the back left corner of this picture. 

Above the toilet. 

"Hello Beautiful" print and you can see the real colors that are in the hand towel.

Finally a bathtub/shower combo! 

We love the way everything turned out.  Another project down!

As far as the nursery goes, I started with the wall colors.  Three light pink walls and one brighter pink.  Add took out the carpet and refinished the beautiful hardwood floors and painted the trim after the quarter round went up.  Next, to tone down the walls I did plain white cotton curtains with a tiny bit of texture. 

I am in love with her rug and rocker/ottoman!

I have a thing for all things linen and before we even knew if this baby was a boy or girl I knew I wanted a comfy linen rocker that would last through the years and would function just fine in another room of the house if needed and for either gender.  The rocker can be turned into a chair as well.  Add and I absolutely love it and can't wait to rock our sweet girl, but for now, Millie loves being rocked like our baby.

This giant giraffe makes us laugh but it really is pretty cute in the corner of her room. The extremely soft teddy bear and Jenny Lind rocker were a sweet gift.

I ordered these four prints (that are waiting to be hung until after we get her furniture back next week) pretty much right after we found out we were having a girl.  Three of them are verses and one has a "T" on it with her name at the bottom.  They add color and a little personalization.  I'll update more on these later!

I got this is as a gift from GayGay (my mother-in-law) for Christmas to hang all her bows on!  I knew as soon as I got it exactly where it needed to go and I had Add hang it as soon as he could.  We don't actually use that light switch and it has always bugged me so hopefully the ribbon and bows will cover it up.  

Last but not least, I am in love with this sweet lamp that my mom and I found on sale.  It will eventually sit on a side table that is next to her crib.  The base is white, the flower is cream and the shade pretty much matches her rocker perfectly when the light is off.  

That's all the sneak peaks I have for now!  My mom has been awesome in helping me get her room together.  She has an eye for things that I would have never even seen and I can't wait to tell T that her grandmother had a huge part in all of it.  (Even though I'm sure Tatum already knows because grandma talks to her quite often.) I often find myself sitting in her rocker wondering what it will be like to actually have her in my arms.  I hope she loves her room as much as I do!

where we spend most of our time

I haven't posted some house pictures in a while so I thought I would let you in on our living room at the stage that it's in.  Our living room is sort of skinny and long so it has been a little hard to figure out what to do with it but I think what we have going works just fine.  There are of course so many things that I would love to do different but it is cozy and makes me happy and I think it just perfect for our first house.  Now when the babe comes, that will be a different story.  We will have to do some serious baby proofing.  (Let me go ahead and apologize, like I do in every post with pictures, of the poor quality of the photos.  My iPhone seems to take better pictures than my actual digital camera and this is about as good as it gets.)  Maybe I'll get a new camera before the baby gets here? ;) 

This is what you see to the left when you walk in the front door.  

This corner was quite the headache for a long time.  It's still not perfect but works just fine.  

I love looking at all the pictures in our home.  It makes it much more warm and inviting, I think. 

This couch was Add and mine's first purchase together towards the end of our engagement.  All of the other furniture (besides the entertainment center) in the living room was given to us by family that wasn't needed anymore.  The curtains, side tables and pillows are from pottery barn.  The lamps and couch and from Market in Dallas.  

Addison built the entertainment center with his uncle and dad and it turned out amazing.  I would like to still put two doors on the front to hide toys, diapers and whatever else.  I am also hoping we'll get a mantle built for the fireplace before Christmas.  We have another fireplace in the second living room/dining room but we don't go in there much so I would love to be able to decorate a mantle and have a place to hang our stockings in the main living room.  

It seems like just when things are really coming together we have to make more changes (like preparing for a baby) but we are overjoyed to do so.  Since our house is only a two bedroom, we are going to clean out the guest bedroom and rip out the bathroom hopefully pretty soon!  I think this will also great value to the house since that bathroom is horrendous and can barely fit one person at the moment.  I'm learning that house decorating/renovating is a big process and cannot all be done at one time which is frustrating sometimes but I am learning to adjust.  I am so thankful for our little house and all that we have been able to do so far.  

12 week baby update up next!
