Ideas for Bonnie's New Room

I had a lot of fun decorating Bonnie's nursery and, with us moving in May, I'm getting excited about decorating her new room!  (Let's be honest, I'm excited about decorating the whole house.)  I'll start with ideas for my Bon Bon's new room though.  The walls are a soft grey color which I figured would go well with whatever else I come up with.

Here's the inspiration fabric...

Monaco PEACOCKS Fuchsia Pink by Dena Designs for Free Spirit Fabrics

I plan on using some of these colors for the rest of the decor.

We saved a 4 post bed frame a lot like this one from our neighbor's curbside and I want to paint it, I just haven't decided what color yet.  I might go with white, like the bed in the picture, since her dresser is already white.

I'd love to get this print from Etsy.  It can be personalized, so I think I'd eliminate the "Illinois" from the bottom and of course have the heart moved to where Champaign, IL is located.

I want to get several of these totes for her closet.  They're so cute!  And isn't it easier to stay organized when it looks good?  I have several yellow bins from her nursery that can be mixed in with the pink chevron!

I already have three of these yellow flower wall hooks from Pier One.  They never found a spot in Bonnie's nursery but we'll have to find a place for them in her big girl room.  (This picture is from here.)  They're a little brighter in person than they look in this picture.  Can't you picture some cute little coats hanging from them?

We already have several different lamp bases we could use in her room, 
then all I'd need is a pink drum shade. 

It's a Boy!

With a lot of wiggling, flipping and just being really low in general we found out Friday that we're going to be having a baby boy come August!  Our daughter, Bonnie, has no idea how much her life is going to change, and to be honest, I don't think we do either.  Bonnie was always such a calm, easy going baby and I know that both boys and girls can be this way but doesn't it always seem to be moms of boys telling you how tired they are?  Ha!  I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous.  But we're excited too!  (Of course, one of each, yay!)

Here he is!  Due 8/28/12

We sold!

In four days we had 7 showings and from Sunday evening to Monday morning we got a total of 3 offers!  In this market that's AWESOME!  We ended up accepting an offer above our asking price with a lower commision.  Now it's just time to pack.

See the sign?

In other news, today is my 28th birthday and we're having a sonogram to determine lots of things including if this baby's a boy or a girl!  Yay!  Update to come!

On the Market

We listed our first home on Thursday of last week.  Since then we've had at least one showing a day, but today we have four!  I have so many mixed feelings about selling this house.  We LOVE our house.  We first brought our baby Bonnie home here and we've done several projects along the way that have only made it more perfect for us.  But to move on to the next stage in our lives we must sell it, and in doing so we're hoping for the best price possible!
Side note- selling a house with a 14 month old who still naps twice a day it hard.  Her schedule has been out of whack since Thursday.  I feel bad but keep telling myself "This is only temporary."

The front of our house before we painted the porch.

Our living room.  It's laid out totally different now!

We put in this paver patio ourselves!  It's a great space to spend summer evenings.

Know anyone looking to buy?

Starting at the Beginning...

Here it is, the first post.  I'd like to tell you I'll be great at keeping up with posting on a regular basis but I don't know yet if I will.  I know we're busy and our lives are about to change tremendously over the next few months so here's to documenting that for the world to read.  Enjoy!
