- We moved into our current home on September, 6 2008. Whole house is the same color: a yellowish-cream. Thoughts: really need to paint before baby arrives.
- We sold our old house in Golden Valley on September 18, 2008. Thoughts: Very sad and emotional time, but YIPEE, one less stressor!
- We became new parents on October 6, 2008. Thoughts: she is so cute and we love her instantly. Worried about her lungs.
- Julia spent 7 weeks at Children's hospital and had surgery on November 17, 2008 Thoughts: this parenting stuff is TOUGH. When will she come home?
- New mommy was hospitalized on November 18, 2008 with a blood clot in her leg; released the next day after lots of coaxing with the doctors so mommy could be with baby after surgery. Thoughts: why is this happening all at once? Stupid blood clotting disorders! How am I going to paint with this pain?
- Julia finally came home on November 25, 2008. Thoughts: Yeah! No more driving to the hospital. We finally have our little blessing home! Really need to paint her room.
- Mommy started a new job on January 19, 2009. Thoughts: So excited! Wonder how this full-time working mommy stuff will go?
- Mommy attempted and pass Clinical Nurse Specialist boards on January 30, 2009. Thoughts: WOW! No more studying and will have more time to hopefully paint!
- Finally painted Julia's room some girly colors (pastel purple and green) in August, 2009Thoughts: Now she FINALLY has a room that looks like a kids room
- February 2010: going to get a tranquil spot of our own. Painting our master bedroom a nice calming, soothing mocha/beige color and have cool colors of light blues and browns. Thoughts: it is about time we have a nice relaxing sanctuary after all the stressors! :)
Ok, it was tough, but I am one of those people who wants things done and organized yesterday. Not having our home completely done and painted the way we want drives me crazy some days, but as Mike reminds me (and my mother), it will all get done someday and we just have to take one room at a time. We were just a little busy the past year to even do anything. I already have all the other rooms planned out, including bathrooms and our laundry room! Can't wait till it is all done. Now if only there was more time in a day....
Here is the new bedding for our master bedroom:
The paint color will be similar to the cream/beige color on the bedspread.I will post before and after pictures of our room and Julia's room once we are done. :)
Where did you find that bedding?
ReplyDeleteJC Penny. It was the only one I could find that came close to the colors I wanted and what I had in mind. :)
