Tavin's Big Boy Room

After working on it for a couple months we finally finished!

I wish I had the true before picture to show you.  The one with all of my sewing stuff everywhere but I digress, and will show you the empty room pictures.

Before:

This was taken before we moved in.

Half way:

Finished!

Please excuse the clutter, we were still in the process of moving stuff from baby room to big boy room :)

We Shaun transitioned Tavin into his room on March 6.  

Night One-Thursday:

Tavin did pretty well.  After reading a few books and leaving the room, Shaun said he had to go back once and settle him in some more.  He woke up a couple times that night to look around and figure out where he was.  Friday morning he was up at 5:30!!

Shaun and Tavin were home on Friday together and the nap was a struggle at first but then Tavin gave in and slept for a good 2 hours!

Night Two-Friday:

Friday night, he laid down better but was still up a couple times.  Saturday morning he was again up at 5:30.

Saturday afternoon nap did not go as well as Fridays.  

Night Three-Saturday:

Saturday night he did really well.  Thanks to daylight savings time he slept until 6:30 (what really would have been 5:30).

Sunday nap was another short one :(

Night Four-Sunday:

He went down great, woke up once around 4ish and slept until 7!!

Monday Grandma was home with him (daycare was off) and Grandma said he took a 2 hour nap!!!

Night Five-Monday:

Slept great!

I couldn't be more proud of how he handled the transition.  He also LOVES his room and it's the first thing he had to show Grandma when she arrived on Monday morning.

Master Bedroom (Part 2)

We were on "vacation" with Tavin Memorial Day weekend and we had a to-do list a mile long.

First on the list, repaint our bedroom!

Here's the before:

During:

And the after (excuse the mess)

It turned out great (except for issues with removing tape).  I especially am in love with the canvas pictures!

Master Bedroom Facelift

When we moved into our house in 2007 the master bedroom was decorated perfectly to match our bedspread already and so we left it.

But now, it's feeling drab and ready for an update.

I scoured the internet for ideas for a bedspread and had suggestions to try a duvet cover.  So with that suggestion I stumbled upon this:

And we were in LOVE!

We managed to pick the wall colors fairly easily.

Now we are stumped as to what to do for curtains.  I thought about sewing some but we can't find anything we like......

Stay tuned for before and after pictures!
