Room Extras and other projects



I think I'm also going to make a butterfly mobile for her room, similar to this mobile I found on Etsy. I will follow directions on how to make a Christmas Light Ball (using chicken wire and string lights http://www.ehow.com/how_4910654_make-christmas-tree-light-balls.html) then attach butterflies like the mobile above. I think it will look cute in the corner of her room hanging from the ceiling.

I also want to do a chalkboard door, but our doors are kinda crappy. I need to find a long frame and some plywood. I think a full length mirror kind of frame might work. I can attach it to the door and it will cover the holes, plus I think Mac will like it when she gets a little bigger.

Mac's New Room






I've been working on Mac's new room for a while. There was a lot of prep work, since the people that lived here before us didn't mind drips, brush strokes, or holes in the walls. Putting Duct Tape on the woodwork around the windows is also not a great idea. After sanding and patching walls and goof-offing, sanding and re-staining wood work I'm getting excited that we're so close to finishing up!
