{ under construction }

well, not only is baby under construction, but so is our home! we have decided to do a "few" home improvement projects this summer and are hoping to get the best deals and do as many things ourselves. my father is an expert at everything and i am so grateful i married a "handy man" too that can do a variety of things!

on the "honey do" list?

- new wood floors (my dad and ricky already did it themselves!!)
- new carpeting (just installed!)
-recover kitchen table chairs (my mom helped with that!)
- new fencing in backyard (thank you hoa)
- install travertine tile outside
-new plants and landscaping
- new kitchen appliances
- paint/stain kitchen cabinets and buy new hardware
- buy hayden a twin bed and decorate his new room

did i mention we have a baby room to decorate as well?!
that means i am converting my scrapbook/office room to a sweet little girls room (so excited!!) but where the heck am i going to put everything? that will be a summer project in itself.

i wanted to share my inspiration for her room. i debated between the "princess" room with the pink damask wallpaper with the fancy chandelier or a fun shabby chic room with adorable birdies and owls...and that is what we choose! we thought it would be more fun and whimsical for a little girl and we can do the fancy room when she gets older.

the bedding is potterybarn kids (our favorite) and thought it would be cute to get a vinyl tree for the wall...can't wait to see what it looks like!
