It's a Start

Christopher is now 8 months old and I am finally coming around to working on his room. The past month I have been creating an art project for his wall. I took the idea from Pottery Barn Kids and changed it up a little. I got a lot of the frames from a lady on Freecycle and the rest I ventured out to our local Savers (interesting experience) to fill in the blanks. I don't think I like the colors I chose but it will do for now. The furniture doesn't quite fit as well as I would like but it will do for the next three years. It sounds like I am just making a bunch of excuses which I am but being the interior designer it's hard not to look at everything with a very critical eye. Anyway, I am still on the hunt for some drapery and I have a idea for a mobile that is needed to fill in the bare spot on the wall next to the tree, but this will all come in time. Oh yes, and the frog hooks I am very proud of, they are my Hobby Lobby find. They were bronze and 4 bucks each but I got them half off and painted them with the left over paint from the tree project. I think they fit with the loose theme of nature and look like they are worth more then $4. I will update once I finish the room but this will do for you guys that are wondering what I have been up to.

The glare makes it hard to see the tree

My favorite thing in the entire room is the bumper pad mom made.
