redecorating

so. right now i am busier than i have ever been with school, church, home, judah, allen, baby showers, wedding showers, pregnant people, event planning, and life in general. i have 2 hours to get some stuff done...but what am i doing instead???

looking at baby bedding...

that's all i can do. i am so excited about bedding and decorating mikaela's room. and judah's. and ours. we are doing an all around bedroom shift, so pretty much everything has to be moved and reorganized. and we haven't even started! yikes. but yes, for the past week, i've consumed all of my time looking at cribs, dressers, baby bedding, decorations, decorating tips, etc online.

i really need to just pick something so i can get back to my life!!!

since judah already has his toddler bed, we are going to probably do his room with some basic colors (navy, red) and accessorize with cars or boats or whatever we decide on (probably trucks b/c thats his FAV right now!)..i really need to get him a new dresser, or let him have mine, and i can get another dresser--won't happen anytime soon, but hey, i can dream. we need to paint the walls and find a valance for the windows, and just a bunch of little stuff. but hey, at least he has a bed. his poor sister has NOTHING to her name right now!! (except an elephant blanket and a couple of outfits!!)

maybe something like this...minus those HIDEOUS curtains..i can handle the valances, but NOT the curtains..

or this...

as far as mikaela's room goes, i don't know what in the world i want to do. at first i wanted this wildly flower printed set that was aqua blue, reddish orange, and green, but it's really expensive so i nixed that right away. and plus, she's a little girl. i want there to be PINK!! and so does allen. so we're probably going to go the completely opposite route and do frilly pinkness everywhere..which is fine with me. most of the stuff people give you for a baby shower is pastel pink or blue anyways, so it'll match. her crib will most likely be a dark espresso color (i wanted white, but...thinking about judah and his level of hyperactivity, i decided against that too. i would like for her crib/toddler bed/full size bed to last as long as its made for, with as little scratching as possible. we'll see how long it really lasts...

i like the soft colors of this room..i think it would go well in our "country" house..

but i like the modern-ness of this one..and the cool ruffle at the bottom of the crib...i'm just not sure about the shade of pink...it could look too bluish/purplish..

..and this one..i just like birds...i think they can make a girl's room look cute...and there's still some pink in there, just not too overpowering..

our room..well, i don't know what to do. we have paneling in what will be our new master bedroom, and i don't know how to make it look good. i've been looking online for different ideas, and there is some promise in what i can do (without painting the walls)..so we'll see...it's definitely last on my priority list.

so yeah..this is what i've been doing ALL afternoon..i really need to find something better to do with my time!! or at least just pick out a bedding set already so that i won't have to think about it anymore!! ( i never EVER fretted this much about judah's bedding...)

now..to get something real accomplished for the day...
