My Good Fortune

I have a new neighbor who calls me when something cool is going down. She also watches my girls when I need her to save me. She is awesome!

Yesterday, Stephanie called to let me know that there was an estate sale just down the street from us, and would I like to go?

Uh, YES!

So, here is the ONE purchase I made. There were five I COULD HAVE made if my pockets were deeper.

These two framed train prints are for our new baby boy's room:

The mat is a charming ticking stripe.

The frame is a beautiful distressed wood, painted black.

The Governor Standard:

The Minnetonka:

DON'T YOU LOVE THEM?

And here they sit amongst the chaos of the baby's room:

Inventory:

• 8 chairs
• 1 chaise lounge
• 2 ottomans
• 1 bassinet
• 1 dog hair-covered quilt and dog bed
• 1 computer and desk
• too many boxes to count ( I can't even bear to show you the closet stacked full of boxes)

The good news is that in 6-8 weeks, we will be able to clear out this "holding room" and get it in order.

I am thanking The Good Lord that only ONE wall in this room is red. Four walls of that strong of a color would make me skerrrrred! It appears brighter here than in person and it works pretty well with what we've got going on for the nursery. So now on to making valances...wait, I spy the half-way done dining room curtains stashed in the crib! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Got to finish those before I buy any MORE fabric!

Don't remember what our nursery looked like? CHECK IT OUT HERE.
