{make room for baby: part 1}

So I am officially into my nesting stage of wanting to de-junk everything (3 DI trips in the last 4 weeks) and wanting to start on Baby E's room-- yes we can call him baby E. I originally wanted to paint the walls a light grey but daddy ex-nayed that idea so we played a game and each picked out 3 paint colors and then narrowed in on one...and it was Disney's Cinderella Blue or something dorky like that. I have to say I love it!

Some people might think that it's a tad bit too early for us to start on the room, but Pierce is literally going ALL day EVERY day and I will be thankful when I am too big to help in any way.

Obviously, it's still a work in progress-- like we need a mattress etc. but here is just a peak at before and after!

Here are some "before" pictures that I stole from Pierce's instagram, as you can see it was messy and was just an office.



My sweet husband hard at work painting! (He doesn't know I took this!)


And now, the "After"
{when you walk in}

{another angle of the room}

{the crib minus the mattress}
{Ikea dresser that was once mine, this is where we will put the changing pad}

{the closet- clearly needing some organization still...that's for another day}

{and my office is to the side by the closet- fits great}

So we still have a TON to do but I am happy with the improvements and painting! I think we will do a subtle jungle theme- and I don't even dare to say theme- I mainly want it to be colors but I found the following 2 pictures that we may use! My mom and I are going to make the bedding because I can't find anything I love or exactly what I am wanting. I am thinking Chevron and polka dots for the bedding in some fun colors!

{Halloween}

Pierce usually doesn't like having holiday decorations around unless it's Christmas, but he is warming up to the idea. So he and I have been gathering some super cute and fun Halloween decorations!

This was a candle holder, which Pierce bumped into last night, so he is no longer with us but was cute for the time being haha!
Apparently I have an obsession with sparkles and glitter, so I just had to get a sparkly orange candle!
Our cute little witch!
This little mummy guy is so cute and again I loved the sparkles!
This picture doesn't do how cute this little decoration is, it's a candle holder that's a spider, but we couldn't find a cute candle to go on it and at Tai Pan they showed it with this, which was really cute!
Pierce picked out this ghost and he is super cute and simple!
Gotta have pumpkins!
Lastly, TJ Maxx has the best decorations for cheap, we found this great fall pumpkin that I will be able to use for Thanksgiving as well!

Happy Halloween!
