There’s nothing like the “nesting phase” of an 8 month pregnant woman.

We have been working on Jack’s Big Boy room at a snails pace.

No rush right?

He’s still in a crib.

The new baby will stay with Mommy and Daddy for a few months.

Snails pace.

Easy

Slow and steady

Until…….

Can we hang some pictures in Jack’s Big Boy Room?

Where are the sheets for Jack’s bed?

And then I get to thinking about all the things I wanted done.

First up?

His dresser

What he had was fine but not great

I could have fixed the handles and worked on the sticky drawers but I really had something else in mind.

His new room is Americana theme. What’s more American than fire trucks?

However I didn’t really want just flags and such. I wanted unique.

I pulled the drawers out and fixed what was wonky. I removed some weird little decorative things. They have no business in a little boys room.

Filled in all the holes and painted the shell white.

From the beginning I thought I would paint his dresser blue.

Red bed

Blue dresser

Etc.

Etc.

Then I pulled out the already purchased blue rug.

I was terrified that the blues would clash. I had purchased this rug months and months ago and there was turning back.

I had never boarded the ombré/gradient paint train but I’m usually far behind trends anyway.

One of these blues will match right?

I matched the knobs to some hand rails on his new fire truck bed. Pictures soon to come!

I know you are sick of hearing how hot it is. But dang, it’s hot in this garage.

However I’m not stopping. I’m on a roll and a new baby will be arriving in less than a month.

Have a great Tuesday!
