Remodelaholic

For the past 6 months I've been searching garage sales for furniture to refinish and add to our home. Within the last month I have found 3 pieces that I will hopefully get a makeover to fit the baby's nursery. Ill post my before photos and hopefully get some ideas of what Id like to do with them! The possibilities are endless...Even on this tiny island! Ive been leaning more towards the grey/white/yellow color scheme (since Im so impatient when it comes to waiting to see what were having) and this would be perfect for either gender! Who knows...every time I look at pinterest I get more ideas and change my mind!

Modern baby

I recently bought one of these bad boys for our new addition. This has been on my "baby wish list" since before we started trying! The 5 settings it offers mimic actual movements parents make- no crazy fast swinging or random shaking! There is also an ipod hookup, reclining options and speed settings that make having this 1 product worth the hefty price tag...it is also worth all the other random baby machines we now DONT have to purchase. I cannot wait to put this to use! Now Im in search of a stroller...

Photo op!

For our announcement photos I knew there was only one person I would want taking them! Roxie took our family photos for our Christmas cards last year and once I found out I was expecting Roxie and I started brainstorming ideas on how I would tell everyone! These are a couple from the session. She is so talented and knows just how to capture the perfect shot! I wouldn't want anyone else taking them!
