Making Progress


Just a little bit of PK's room.  The dresser and the nightstand got new paint jobs and new hardware.  The hardware about did me in.  Ugh.  Kris left me to drill new holes and screw in the handles.  Fine; I can handle it... But he didn't show me how to use the dang power tools!! I was sweating my butt off trying to manually screw in those damn screws, got blisters on my hands and everything.  Showed me how they worked and had the rest of them done in 15 minutes!  Ugh.  

We are still trying to decide if we are going to try to hang that picture above or leave it leaned against the wall.  It is string art from my great uncle Lorin.  He passed away this winter and I wanted to put it in Parker's room.  He loves looking at it; it's just so heavy that I'm not sure how we would hang it safely.

Slowly starting to put everything else back together.  I have the curtains done too; they look great, it's just hard to get a picture of them since I put a room darkening liner behind them.  The darkening liner works awesome too!  I didn't even have his cellular blinds closed the other day and the curtains made it completely dark in there during nap time (not that he took a nap tho!!).

The bookcase was also done but I had a slight mishap when trying to spray paint the baskets I had on there.  The paint didn't stick so well to the plastic and they look horrible.  So I'm on the hunt for new baskets.  I'd also like to reupholster his glider we have in there.
