Laundry room and baby bedding...

Update on the house projects -

David is finished with the yard for now...he is going to hydro-mulch and seed (those may be the same thing, but I don't really know...) the yard in September when it cools off a little bit. So for now, we just have dirt in the front yard. It does have a brand new sprinkler system, new retaining wall, and three new trees though! I will try to post some pictures although it's not too pretty without grass. Now, he is working on the new laundry room. It's sheet-rocked and almost ready for texture. He's hoping to have it textured and tiled by the end of the week. Here are some pictures of the laundry room...


David texturing the walls.
David built a platform for my washer and dryer. We didn't want to pay $500 for the stands that go with our washer and dryer...don't know why anyone would.


Some of you have asked about my baby bedding so I thought I'd post a picture from the internet. I still have to find a crib and a glider for her room but I guess there's no rush on that. I think I want to paint the crib yellow to go with her bedding. That's about all I know about her room for now though! David will have to take a break from the rest of the house for a weekend to redo her closet, so until then, I can't really do anything in there. Her closet is a really good size but the door is right in the middle and the closet goes on forever in both directions. So, David's going to tear out the door and put in double doors so that all of the space can be easily used. He wasn't too thrilled about this project but it will be worth it in the end! :)

Isn't it wonderful to have a handy man around the house?! Your baby girl is one lucky little one to have the two of you as her parents! (And some pretty great aunts and uncles, too- AND we can't forget Gigi...) :)

Thanks! I know, we (the baby and I) are very lucky to have such a hardworking and handy daddy/hubby! I agree with you Aunt Kathi, she does have some pretty great aunts and uncles, and Gigi, of course!

Can I borrow David? I have some projects too. Lucky you! I did see the crib/bedding on the site. I love the colors too.

Thank you so much for sharing great ideas to extend the life of crib bedding sets.
