Less than 5 weeks...and counting...

I've been feeling rather behind on the nursery. Slowly, but surely things are coming together. Last weekend I painted this old dresser... (while Casey and my dad installed our new screen door - delegation is the best kind of multi-tasking!)
There's nothing a couple hours, a Brewers game on the radio and a few coats of fresh paint can't cure.After some new hardware - courtesy of Home Depot - and fresh drawer liners we now have storage for tiny, tiny clothes and accessories. (The adorable lamp was a baby shower gift!)I bought and painted some pine rosettes instead of screwing the window treatment finials directly into the wall. Meme (Casey's mom) sewed baby bedding for our nephews, Kane and Braden (first borns), so she was kind enough to continue the trend for Mallory using fabric we picked out. These simple valances are reversible and fabulous! After a trip to Bed, Bath and Beyond with my mom yesterday...easy installation of cordless window shades complete the look.

We're only missing one component: a custom crib from Grandpa. :) Okay, on second thought, the baby might be a more important component. Less than 5 weeks!!

The dresser looks GREAT.....so do the installation of the drapes and shades....I would agree that the baby is missing, however a crib is probably waaay more comfortable than a dresser drawer!!
