operation: finish playroom

when we moved into our house just over a year ago, there were some things that just didn't match our style.   since that time, we've slowly been working on and checking off said items.   we've torn down lots of wallpaper, patched up spots on the walls, and have done our fair share of painting.   one of the items on our list was to address James' playroom. when we moved in, two of the four walls were painted neon orange (the other two were white, phew!)  with a Chicago Bears border on the top of the wall surrounding the room. it wasn't what we had envisioned for James' playroom, so fortunately, Michael and his parents got to work. they were busy. after everything was all said and done, the border was torn off, the walls were primed and painted in Antique White, new baseboard was installed, we added a chalkboard wall, and put in a new rug.   i couldn't do much to aid in the process since i was 7 months pregnant and painting is generally frowned upon; however, i did find a few projects (::cough::bunting::cough) to keep me busy.    the end result is better than i envisioned...and James was floored as well!    here's a look at his new and improved playroom:

we are slowly turning this house into our home. :)

when fall comes knockin' at my door...

it's that time of year!

no...not THEE most wonderful time of the year (::cough::Christmas::cough::),

but the next best -

fall!  

 

school is back in session,

football has begun, 

and my September calendar is a constant reminder of the changing months.

now if only the weather would get the memo!

it has been in the upper 90's/100's here, 

and this pregnant lady is noooooot groovin' on it.

i digress.   

 

with baby boy #2 on his way (less than a month to go...eep!),

i've decided to bust out my fall decorations. 

here's a glimpse into our home...

tomorrow's high is supposed to be in the mid 70's (what!?)
