Another project down

A few months back I posted my "To do" list on my blog of things I had to do before the baby get's here. The list looked something like this:

1-Clean out an entire office, put everything away in totes, D.I., shred old stuff and move out all the furniture.
2-Paint the nursery.
3-Get new armouire for the computer (to fit in the corner of the nursery) and paint it.
4-Move Isabella's crib into the nursery.
5-Sew Crib skirt and valance for nursery.
6-Paint Isabella's room same color as nursery.
7-Put together Isabella's big girl bed.
8-Have fun decorating the 2 new rooms.

Now when I posted this a few months ago, why didn't someone bring to my attention that I was completely INSANE trying to re-do 2 rooms at the same time in a few months???? It's been nothing short of crazy at our house. But, I am excited to say that the list from #1 down to #3 are completely finshed. And tonight we are working on #4, #5-the crib skirt is sewn but I still need to do the valance. On Saturday my mother in law and me are completing #6, and let's just say once we get to #7 and #8 I hope I am not in labor!!! Written down it didn't look too overwhelming, but once I started the process.....oh my!! Isn't it frustrating that on HGTV they can complete an entire room for a 30 minute show????? That's good work! But it really has been a fun process, I just totally misjudged the amount of time it was going to take. Here is a picture of my most recent project (I need to make an appointment with my Bishop to confess all the terrible, horrible, no good words I used while in the process of this project). I will explain why.

Here is a picture of the armouire we purchased (off the website we bought it from).

Doesn't look that complicated to paint, right?

Well, 3 coats of primer,3 coats of paint, antiquing stain and about 14 hours (1 1/2 weeks later), this armouire got painted.....NEVER listen to the people at Lowe's!

Here is the finished product in the corner of the nursery. I can't believe we were able to fit our entire office into this small piece of furniture and 1 Rubbermaid filing tote! I added some beadboard to the front 2 doors (after 3 trips to Lowe's for them to cut the bead board...that's a whole other story that contributes to the amount of time it took to get this thing done).

Here is the inside. I added some bead board on the right door and then some cork board on the left door to hang stuff.
I also added some fun new green vintage knobs to match the nursery.
And, I went a little overboard, but I took one of my favorite scrapbook papers and had it printed to make a mousepad that matched the cream, pink and green in the room.
Okay....wish me luck on the rest of my list!!
