At least it feels like Spring in mi casa! I showed off my <a href="http://michelleleeinteriors.blogspot.com/2013/04/for-love-of-storage.html" target="_blank">new storage shelves</a> a couple weeks ago. They left a bit to be desired in the styling area. Since we have our tv above the fireplace with all kinds of technology clutter surrounding it, I don't have a mantle to style for each season. Why not style the top of this shelving appropriately and call it a day?! So, here it is! My spring shelf!<br />

I mentioned it in my other post, but I got the faux window frame from <a href="http://www.target.com/p/threshold-4-opening-windowpane-collage/-/A-14140497#prodSlot=large_1_17" target="_blank">Target</a>. It's actually a picture frame! I already owned the pitcher (got it from JoAnns for cheap!) and stuck some $6 flowers in it from Sams Club! <i>Tip: create balance with your vignette by using an odd number of groupings of various heights. Make sure to think about the colors of your items as well!</i> I made the wreath with a simple wreath form and a couple rolls of moss. I tied it onto the frame with a simple piece of burlap. The large metal letters came from Hobby Lobby. I got them when they were 50% off so they were only $12 each!</div>

With all the baby-bump pics showing up in my news feeds, I thought I would share what I have found to be my must-have items since gaining my own bundle of joy! Of course I can't share them all in one post, so there will be more to come in the next few months! These are what popped into my head when I first started brainstorming the items I couldn't live without:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY-I4JBOYioTstilEXq9of1ytYzoLN2dolsI_xuGp9jK7tCeu40N8zxG8RgykQYN31hjGfXMD7Rum2R0LYjMw7Jdk08Pcoo14FJ2DioBxW38E1amOGSdVeqRsRUOGpqaTdyvYLJztMwIk/s1600/Untitled+presentation-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY-I4JBOYioTstilEXq9of1ytYzoLN2dolsI_xuGp9jK7tCeu40N8zxG8RgykQYN31hjGfXMD7Rum2R0LYjMw7Jdk08Pcoo14FJ2DioBxW38E1amOGSdVeqRsRUOGpqaTdyvYLJztMwIk/s640/Untitled+presentation-6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/aden-anais-Muslin-Swaddle-Blanket/dp/B005Q3LQ9U/ref=sr_1_8?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1367167900&sr=1-8&keywords=aden+%26+anais" target="_blank">a + a Swaddle Blankets</a>-These are perfect for swaddling, breast-feeding cover-up, play time on the floor...pretty much anything.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Zo-li-Buzz-Baby-Nail-Trimmer/dp/B003CN0V7Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367522874&sr=8-1&keywords=zoli+nail" target="_blank">Zo-li Buzz Nail Trimmer</a>-This is actually a nail file and is <i>perfect</i> for filing down those teeny-tiny nails</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Sleepy Sounds App (FREE)-We love the "white noise" and "nature sounds." When we lay down at night, this app gets turned on and Miss Finlee is content to fall asleep within minutes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-MBP36-Wireless-Monitor-Infrared/dp/B004VL2VRO" target="_blank">Motorola MBP36 Video Monitor</a>-We did <i>extensive</i> research before deciding on this one, but it was worth it. Two-way talk, tilt/scan capabilities, multiple cameras, and a large monitor. I believe we can even hook it up to the TV, we just haven't yet! Seriously...LOVE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Snuggin-Go-Infant-Positioner-Green/dp/B003SX0B8M" target="_blank">Snuggin Go Infant Positioner</a>-This makes all those wonderful swings and bouncy seats comfy for even the tiniest of babies. Stick it in your Mamaroo and you are ready to go...no crooked necks here!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. <a href="http://www.mobywrap.com/mw/Home.htm" target="_blank">Moby Wrap</a>-Life.Saver. This is the only way to get anything done. I use it when I go grocery shopping or even out to eat!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7. <a href="http://www.diapers.com/p/ubbi-diaper-pail-gray-463963?site=CA&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc_D&utm_term=PH-184&utm_campaign=GooglePLA&CAWELAID=1406025189&utm_content=pla&ca_sku=PH-184&ca_gpa=pla&ca_kw=%7Bkeyword%7D" target="_blank">Ubbi Pail</a>-No stinky diapers here. Literally--Can't smell 'em. This pail is AH-mazing! It fits any bags (so you can just use your trash bags if you want!) AND they have a cloth bag for cloth diapering. Just stick it in the wash when you wash your load of diapers and you are good-to-go!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8. <a href="http://www.target.com/p/bumgenius-freetime-all-in-one-snap-2-pack-neutral/-/A-14237014#prodSlot=dlp_medium_1_1&term=bumgenius+all+in+one+diapers" target="_blank">BumGenius All-in-One</a>-Can I just say that I LOVE cloth diapering. No turning back here. And these BumGenius all-in-ones take the cake: no stuffing, no covers, no additional work. It's the convenience of disposables with the earth-friendliness and cost-savings of cloth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There ya have it! I'll be doing a whole cloth diaper post in the future for you mommas looking into them! This weekend, we'll be doing some projects around the house and I can't wait to show you our progress!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So mommas, what can't you live without?! Not that I need help shopping/spending money!</div>

The nursery is "complete." I say it in quotations because design is never really finished...and I know I'll continue to tweak and add goodies as I find them! So, let's get this party started by taking a look at where we started with the "nook" when we moved in.<br />

Let me say this out loud...I hate painting stripes. For some reason, I had blocked out the terrible memory from my <a href="http://michelleleeinteriors.blogspot.com/2011/08/my-big-fat-chevron-wall.html" target="_blank">chevron stripe extravaganza</a> and decided to paint them again. I have to say...it DOES make quite the statement! FYI, I used Sherwin Williams Urbane Bronze (dark) and Shoji White (light).</div>

Next up was the small gallery wall on the left side. I knew I wanted to do shelves on the right and needed to balance it out. I ended up doing a mixture of frames so it looked more "collected." Plus, I wanted it to be a little different than the ones in the <a href="http://mylifeasamrsh.blogspot.com/2011/07/wall-o-shelves-and-gallery-wall-check.html" target="_blank">living room</a> and <a href="http://michelleleeinteriors.blogspot.com/2011/10/gallery-wall-goodness.html" target="_blank">office</a>. The shelves were another DIY. We bought the boards from Lowe's, sanded them, and gave them a few coats of stain. I picked up the metal corbels at Hobby Lobby. They were originally $7.99 each and they were 50% off that week! I'll take 4 corbels for $16! Then I spray painted them with one of the maaaany cans of off-white spray paint I have lying around and bada-bing bada-boom...we've got shelving people!</div>

This was made a lot like I did my <a href="http://michelleleeinteriors.blogspot.com/2011/08/diy-that-got-best-of-me.html" target="_blank">subway art</a> for the living room. I made a couple of my own prints and got the State Print from <a href="http://www.jennasuedesign.com/" target="_blank">Jenna Sue Designs!</a> I highly recommend her! She has all kinds of prints...I especially love her Maps!</div>

I found the furniture score of a lifetime at TJ Maxx. Unfortunately, I passed it up way back when I had no use for it. I talked about it for months. And then, one February day when I was strolling through TJ Maxx, I saw it. Tufted. Nailhead trim. Linen. The storage bench dreams are made of and at a STEAL for $129. I couldn't find an associate to take it to the front fast enough. My favorite pillow cover also lives here. And that cute little lamb does double duty as a room freshener! It's a Scentsy Buddy!</div>

So here she is in all her glory...our beloved reading corner. I know we will spend lots of time cuddled up here when she gets a little older. For now, we read a book a day and stare at the black and white stripes! I wouldn't trade it for anything!</div>

When we bought our house, we were young. We were the bright eyed, about to be newlywed, living the American Dream kind of home buyers. Oh yeah, and we were stupid. Okay, not stupid per se. But definitely had our blinders on. Our home was a foreclosure, so we looked at the big picture rather than in the details. But now, as our sink fills up with bottles and pacifiers, I'm realizing that we have a MAJOR lack of storage in this joint. Enter the greatness that is IKEA and the Hemnes cabinet.</div>

Of course, I had to make it my own. I dug around in my paint collection and grabbed my peacock blue that I used on the <a href="http://michelleleeinteriors.blogspot.com/2011/08/craigslist-desk-makeover-check.html" target="_blank">desk</a> in the office. A few coats later, I placed all of our white dishes in the upper glass portion. The drawers are stuffed with bottles and a sanitizer and extra pacifiers. Finally, we've got room for it all.<br />

I'll start with some mushy momma stuff since this little blog is the best journal ever. I love the idea of Baby H going through and reading all about her entrance into this world. Don't worry, we'll be back to decorating next post! So we'll start here...Wednesday, March 13, 2013:<br />

We got to the hospital at 4:45 a.m. Checked in, got hooked up to my IV, answered a million questions about my pregnancy and family history, and then we waited. I was two days passed my due date, so we decided to induce. Dr. Sills (ah-MAZING Ob/Gyn if you are in NWA!) came in and broke my water at 8:20 a.m. and we got the party started! I wanted to wait as long as possible before getting pitocin to give my body a chance to labor on its own. I was 2 cm dilated and 80% effaced.</div>

We watched GMA, I walked around the room, bounced on my birthing ball, and kept the hubby entertained for the majority of the morning. Around 2 p.m. they checked me again and I had only progressed to 3 c.m., still 80% effaced. They started me on pitocin and that's when things started moving. Contractions were taking my breath away and I worked through the pain as much as possible. My mother-in-law was a great coach and really helped me get through each contraction.<br />

By 5 p.m., I was ready for my epidural. I went natural as long as I could, but the contractions were 15-30 seconds apart and lasting 1-1 1/2 minutes and I was only at 4 cm. By the time the anesthesiologist arrived, it was 6:30 p.m. and I had been laboring naturally for 10 hours. I was finally able to rest and at 9:30 p.m. I knew it was time. The nurse checked me and I was ready to push. We did a couple of practice pushes and the nurse nearly had to catch Baby H herself! Dr. Sills arrived and I gave a few good pushes and she was here!</div>

Yes, I'm still alive. And still pregnant. However, I'm on the home stretch and can't wait to get back into my regularly scheduled blogging! So I thought I would start today since I need to keep busy and my mind off the fact that I still have this bowling ball sized bump attached to my body. AND, I've been working hard on lots of projects and can't wait to share them with you! Here's my life for the last 6 months via instagram!<br />

<i>Eleven</i> days of shopping left and I have purchased two, yes TWO, gifts! Unfortunately, I feel like as I scour the web looking for gift inspiration, I end up coming up with my own list. A few of these have shamelessly already been purchased by <i>me</i> (i.e. the Beatles onesie and Paige Ultra Skinny maternity jeans). I have some serious lust for that flannel blazer and the Frye boots. Oh, and have you seen the Neiman Marcus for Target section?! Oh. My. Goodness. I'm going to need those Tracy Reese gold trimmed dessert plates. So, what's on your list?</div>

I'm editing Thanksgiving pictures today so I can post them for you later this week. But for now, I have a few <i>big</i> purchases that are making their way to our doorstep over the next couple of months. Remember the Franklin and Ben Mason crib from my <a href="http://michelleleeinteriors.blogspot.com/2012/11/nursery-inspiration-board.html" target="_blank">inspiration board</a>?<br />

The weathered grey finish, silver cup pulls, and Restoration Hardware-like lines had me at hello. I was originally looking for something a bit more modern, but this was the perfect compromise for my traditional husband. The rocker, on the other hand, will be my favorite piece in the room. Again, trying to marry my modern style with the hubby's love for all things traditional, I was on the hunt for a compromise. And then I came across this beaut...</div>

The classic, clean lines mixed with traditional tufting and wing-back elements make this rocker the perfect fit for our little family. Hopefully it won't take the estimated 10-12 weeks for delivery so I can take pics and show these pieces off! Our window seat will be built in the next couple of weeks and I'm off to paint some stripes in the nook. Updates coming <i>soon!</i></div>

Good morning and Happy Monday to you! I kept myself busy, busy this weekend with lots of crafts, shopping, and it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here! I'm normally a, "Enjoy Thanksgiving and <i>then </i>start getting ready for Christmas," kind of person. But I figured while I had the weekend off with the hubby, I may as well make the most of it. Here is my weekend on Instagram:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I started with a little nursery project. I bought the stuff a month ago and finally got a chance to sit down and hammer it out! They are little size dividers for her closet! I also hung up the three bags of clothes we've managed to accumulate already.<br />

When I left you <a href="http://michelleleeinteriors.blogspot.com/2012/11/winner-winner-chicken-dinner.html" target="_blank">Friday</a>, I was off to shop for our newly sprung on us news that we are hosting T-Day. I had some luck at Pier 1 and ended up with this for our place setting. Obviously I plan on taking the stickers and price tags off, but you get the idea. Quick product breakdown: Napkin, napkin ring and acorn ornament (great little favor for our guests!) are all from Pier 1; Large plate (already owned) but small plate with little bead detail is from TJ Maxx; Gold charger from Hobby Lobby (only $2 each!). May I mention EVERYTHING was on sale/clearance!<br />

I knew I wanted to make the centerpiece because it can get a bit spendy. So I grabbed my pumpkins that I got on clearance <a href="http://michelleleeinteriors.blogspot.com/2011/11/thanksgiving-tablescape-planning-place.html" target="_blank">last year</a>, some old paint samples in a light grey and beige, newspaper and mod podge. I wanted a mixture of all neutral pumpkins and a couple of hours later I had these...<br />

We found out this week that we will be hosting Thanksgiving this year. Enter anxiety, brainstorming and a little extra in the budget would be nice! Last year, I put lots of thought, DIY and thrifting into our <a href="http://michelleleeinteriors.blogspot.com/2011/11/thanksgiving-tablescape-planning-place.html" target="_blank">Thanksgiving Tablescape</a>. I'm thinking something a little more simple this year...something a bit more <i>neutral</i>. This is my inspiration:<br />

As we get closer and closer to the Holidays, I start scoping out my closet in attempt to start putting outfits together for all the celebrations. These are a few of my favorite things from the good ole' American staple: <a href="http://jcrew.com/" target="_blank">J.CREW</a><br />

The mixture of colorblock, studs, leopard print, and the classic cable knit just can't be beat! And how cute are those bow stud earrings?!<br />
<br />
So, what are you loving right now? Are you thinking holiday parties too?! Baby H is going to prevent me from shopping my favorite retailers this year so I'm living vicariously through you all...enjoy :)<br />

I've seen similar posts but had to brag about my real-life savings and encourage you all to run, not walk, to your nearest Target. Isn't <a href="http://www.lampsplus.com/products/Ennis-Antique-Brass-Web-Sphere-Table-Lamp__M6074.html" target="_blank">this lamp</a> fantastic?! What is not so great is the huge price tag attached to it: $492.</div>

Enter my hero, Target. Bringing high-end style straight to our everyday homes. I scooped up the base on clearance for $31 and the shade for $16. I was so proud that I practically screamed it from the rooftop...or told everyone that would listen.<br />
<br />
What kind of fab finds have you discovered lately? Any of them to the tune of $450?! Please share if you have a good one and maybe we can feature it next Friday! Here's to a weekend full of fall decorating and hot apple cider...see you Monday!</div>

Let the baby planning begin! Who am I kidding...give me a reason to shop, paint and decorate and I am one happy camper! Here's what I've come up with so far:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiU7NRIfHJqIo_mHX5Jn32KSfm6Q0CPS2BrY0upCBj9csQhbsvHjXGEJ1Q8IPaMu-on5jrp5J_7nH5ybghyphenhyphenEgZr_YrUCd1L9HxdDHKvQQde8Z_gKZ8FWN5wzGPD5TJkPNlET_hzqWP-9I/s1600/Untitled+presentation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiU7NRIfHJqIo_mHX5Jn32KSfm6Q0CPS2BrY0upCBj9csQhbsvHjXGEJ1Q8IPaMu-on5jrp5J_7nH5ybghyphenhyphenEgZr_YrUCd1L9HxdDHKvQQde8Z_gKZ8FWN5wzGPD5TJkPNlET_hzqWP-9I/s640/Untitled+presentation.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We are hoping to marry rustic + modern. My main goal was to create something not too <i>baby</i>, that would grow <i>with</i> her. Our biggest task is to get our bench seat built in the nook area. We'll be painting bold, black and white stripes in the nook, and Sherwin-Williams Worldly Grey will be on the rest of the walls in the room. I'm using Caitlin Wilson's <a href="http://www.caitlinwilsontextiles.com/?p=product&sku=1001&d=1&pre=p!category|c!fabric|patt!|s!|fabric!" target="_blank">Navy Fleur Chinoise Fabric</a> as the starting point of the color scheme. I've already scored that ah-mazing lamp and created my "You Are My Sunshine" art! Now to clean all the clutter out of the room so we can start on it already!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sooo what do you think?! Is it bad that I kind of want this room for myself?! See you in a couple of days for Fab Find Friday!!</div>

Remember me? Well, for those of you that have graciously kept me on your Reader or clicked on over to see what I had to blab about...finally...after all this time, I have some updating to do.<br />
<br />
For starters, this happened.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpL3UExJsfAQI3Jr8fUX4lFtcEIXaSySxKncDiQE3cKXo21YSXW0_Z6yOUNu20_sJeZe75qiDaqeiyF0Rm3a1oDdiJbHU82v7_FG7lwPluE1eBqMBna0VlQZGqNtp6WVnDCDDiEwAw4n8/s400/416841_10100441534019287_135415787_n.jpg" width="400" /></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yep...we're preggo! In this pic, right at 20 weeks. We are expecting our little bundle of excitement March 11 and we are anxious to meet her! In short, I slept through the first 3 months. Got off my behind and did some laundry during the fourth month. And I've recently gotten bit by the nesting bug and have started shopping 'til I drop. Helloooo...what a reason to decorate, right?!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Before you start reaching to take me off your Reader for fear of becoming a baby blog, keep your fingers in control. I do plan on documenting the occasional monumental moments, but I won't be keeping you informed every time she spits up, sucks her thumb or makes a funny face. That's what FaceTime with the grandparents is for! This blogger will stay true to her pre-mommy roots and throw in the occasional "look how cool her room is and how much it doesn't look like a nursery!" and chock full of good ole DIYs! Speaking of DIY:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Completed my first nursery DIY and got the itch to make some fab subway art and make them available on my <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/michelleleeinteriors" target="_blank">Etsy Shoppe</a>! I'll also be taking custom orders (they would make great gifts for the holidays!!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And guess what AH-mazing fabric is coming to the Shoppe? I'll give you a hint...her <a href="http://caitlinwilsondesign.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> will rock your socks off and she is the Owner of CWT...Caitlin Wilson Textiles!</div>

To be honest, it scares me. The idea of attempting to paint it haunts me at night. Okay, that may be a bit dramatic but this puppy is going to take HOURS just to do the cutting in. However, there is no time like the present and I'm tired of avoiding it. Here's the gameplan:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>

I'm so excited! I still have some searching to do just to make sure there isn't anything I want to change. My favorite part--the Duralee fabric that I will be making into my shower curtain that will go floor to ceiling. Oh, and the light fixtures. <i>Swoon</i>.</div>

What kind of summer projects do you have up your sleeve? Anyone painted a bathroom painlessly?</div>

TGIF! I was off work yesterday, so my day went a little something like this:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Wake up to precious kisses from the pup.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Coffee. Immediately.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Toodled around Pinterest and found some fab hairstyle tutorials.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sewed some pillows and shipped them off. I just imagine people opening up the package with such excitement and it makes my heart happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Proceeded to Target, TJ Maxx and JoAnn's.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Made my new summer wreath.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Got some colour.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Discovered an AMAZING new blog and I'm secretly hoping we can be besties. She rocks my socks off! <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.myshineproject.com/" target="_blank">SHINE ON!</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And through Instagram, it looked a bit like this:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My braided top knot...thanks <a href="http://www.myshineproject.com/2012/03/how-to-do-braided-top-knot.html" target="_blank">Ashley</a>!</div>

<br />
I got a wreath form, and 4 individual stems from JoAnn's. I pulled the blooms off and hot glued them around my form. It cost $17 (after using 3 coupons on my JoAnn's app!) and took all of 30 minutes!<br />

The Michael Kors and Chanel versions are a <em>bit</em> more than I would like to pay. Luckily, I unpacked this beauty at work yesterday and decided to make my move.<br />

TGIF! This weekend could not get here fast enough! I have a feeling the month of May is going to be a crazy one!! But I did manage to clean and get our Master Bedroom put together enough to give you a peek at what I've been up to. One year ago, the room looked a little something like this:<br />

Yes, you've seen that cup before but I'm a little short on staging accessories at the moment (hence my excitement our upcoming IKEA trip that I mentioned <a href="http://michelleleeinteriors.blogspot.com/2012/04/guest-bedroom-progress-and-details.html" target="_blank">here</a>). I got this mannequinn on eBay and use it to house my necklaces. The chair was <em>free</em>--my favorite kind! And I obviously still need to hang that mirror up.</div>

Striped Duvet Cover and Shams...<a href="http://www.target.com/p/Room-Essentials-Striped-Duvet-Set/-/A-13886781" target="_blank">Target</a> for $25! Are you as shocked as I was after eyeing <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/stripe-duvet-cover-sham-b704/?pkey=cduvet-covers" target="_blank">this</a> puppy for the last 6 months?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Metal Accordion Side Table...<a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=16337420" target="_blank">Urban Outfitters</a> for a mere $64! I <i>lurve</i> this table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Light Blue Side Table...Urban Outfitters for $129. I'm sad to report that it's sold out (I had to wait 3 weeks because it was on backorder!). However, it's called the Genevieve Side Table and I'm sure it will be back since it was such a hit! Does it remind you of <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/turned-leg-nightstand-g540/?pkey=cdressers-nightstands" target="_blank">this</a> piece? Only half the cost :)</div>

Here's what we've already gotten accomplished:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Painting--check!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Side Tables--check! (one is here, the other is being shipped as I type)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Bedding--check! (and I got it WAYYYY cheaper than I thought I was going to!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Still to do:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Curtains</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Stain the headboard</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Light fixtures</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rug?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Chair?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Truckin' right along! What do you think?! Have you been getting your home guest-ready? Anyone else have a bedroom redo in the works?</div>
