Check It Off The List

Well Johnny Boy finished the bookcase and it came out AMAZING!!! Not sure where all these carpentry skills came from but damn am I proud of him. So because the bookcase was finished and put in the room that allowed me to get all of Marnie's books and odd's n ends on it and to also get the artwork hung above it. Can I just say....it came out ADORABLE. I just keep going in the room to look at how cute it is & sit there & think "what a lucky little girl". (Not bragging...just sayin....it is C U T E!!!). So here are some more pics of the room...soon enough it will be completely done, just have a couple of mirrors to hang on the wall above the dresser/changing table and then we will be 100% done.

Here's the whole wall with the bookcase on it:


In the pink box on the shelf are two of John's puppy dog stuffed animals that he had as a little boy. I'll have to get a better pic of them so you can see how disgustingly worn they are...so cute, they were well loved.


Here's all the artwork I got off of Etsy. The one of the tree has a little heart on it with the initials A & J 'carved' into it. The 'M' is from Pottery Barn, we spray painted it silver.


I even picked some fresh cherry blossoms from the tree in our front yard- aren't they gorgeous?


Homemade duckie from Dottie, book from Mom & tea set from Jeanette.


Here's John's little nook

More artwork from Etsy & the little lamb is from Anthropologie


Coat rack spray painted silver to match other elements in the room

We made sure we had special little touches in the room- there's the coat rack that used to be Big G's (the vintage clothes hanging on the coat rack used to be his sisters, Aunt Joe, when she was a baby), homemade owl from Dottie, card that Sue gave to me from the shower- it has cute little bunny slippers on it- will put in a small frame & make it into artwork, the children's vintage rolltop desk used to be Kaelyn & Maddie's, and the framed artwork above the desk is actually a card I made for John for Valentine's Day one year.

My Knight in Shining Armor coming to rescue me!

(notice they are head pics of John & I? I even added my own real hair to my head! lol)

What do you think of it all? Do you think it's as cute as I claim? Ahahaha
