Bedroom additions...

Our bedroom is still a work in progress, but doesn't that always seem to be the case? It sure does with me. The last little while, we've been able to do a few things, I've just been slow about blogging about them. First of all, we FINALLY put up the molding around the bathroom door. We had it for probably 2 months and it was just sitting there, waiting to be put up. I would have done it myself, but I needed Dan's help, so I had to wait for him. :)

Here's a little before shot of the door, without trim or a door handle.
(And before I got our dresser).


And now with molding! Much better, don't you think?


My next little project was made with Goodwill finds. $3 for the board thing, and $1 for the letters. I turned this, into....


This!

Yeah, so um, the bow is kind of messed up. I still need to fix it, but it's kind of hard with the way it hangs. All I did was wrap the cloth around the board and hot glued it. Then I hot glued the letters on, stapled the ribbon in the back and there you have it.

Next, I finally got our wedding picture up. I had it up before I painted our bedroom, last November and haven't put it back since. This wall was bare and now it finally has some stuff on it. The red plaque says Together Forever. It's a vinyl decal I got at Michaels for $1 on clearance. The board it's on, was a Goodwill find (shocker, I know) and I think I paid $1. It was originally blue and said Boy on it. I just had Dan spray paint it red for me and put on the vinyl. Of course I put the vinyl on upside down, so the thing to hang it on, was on the bottom. Dan kindly drilled a hole in the back so I could put it up with a nail. I cut out our initials with vinyl and put them on little mini canvas things. They were on sale for like 88 cents each at Joanns. I still need to add something to them, either a border or some swirls or something, because they are a little plain. But I'm finding in my pregnant state, that some things are good enough for now. :)

This was taken before I put the vinyl on the canvases. Still looks kind of bare, but better than nothing!
Our room is coming along. There are still little things I want to do, but it just takes time and finding the right thing to put up.


Here are a few cute pictures of Anna. The last two Sundays, I actually fixed her hair! I put it in little pigtails and she looked so adorable. Her eyes are closed here, but it's one of the better shots I could get of her hair. She wouldn't stay still.


She's just too precious!

I kind of wished I had tried sooner to fix her hair, but it's taken a while to get long. She wasn't born with a ton of hair, so it's been a slow process.

I love your room! It looks great with the trim and I'd like to see a finished picture with the new dresser too. (You may have already posted one, but I want to see one with the door and decorations!) Everything looks great and Anna looks super cute in pigtails! :)
