Maybe Baby... another month gone

Well, another month has come & gone & we still aren't pregnant. I got my monthly 'frenemy' yesterday, so with today being day 2 and my worst day, I'm plopped on the couch watching cartoons with Gracie, working on my blog. One positive thing about getting my period is that for the first time in years I actually got it on time back to back months. I normally skip two months in between cycles. So, maybe this is a good thing! Regardless, we're staying positive about all of this & we're not giving up! When the time is right, we'll be blessed with a new little one.

Speaking of a new baby, I've obviously had baby fever and have taken to Pinterest to look for nursery ideas for when it does finally happen. So, I thought what the hell, I'll share a few of my ideas on my blog as well. We actually have a little room right off our bedroom, that is supposed to be a bathroom/laundry room, but is currently only being used as a laundry/storage area since we gutted the bathroom part out of it a year ago. So, we've decided if I get pregnant before next year, we're going to transform it into a nursery/laundry room. I'm already flowing with ideas on how to make the laundry side hidden and the nursery side a beautiful little room for a baby. Oh, my brain never stops, I swear!

Here are a few rooms I really liked on Pinterest:

I already know I want to paint the walls grey. I'd like to use green with yellows or teals. Something very neutral.




I'm obsessed with Elephants, have been forever! I'd love to add those to the room too.



I've been completely obsessed with this green crib from Ikea, for years! I'll probably end up getting this.



& I really love this bumper.



So I'm definitely going to do something with grey and green, mostly because the room is connected to my bedroom & my bedroom is grey & green. I want it to all be connected. :) I'll probably add two other accent colors. I'm just unsure which two. Thankfully, I have a while before it matters. ha! ;)

What colors would you paint a nursery? Feel free to share!

PS. New layout!

new, newer & newest!

I put up a new layout, a detailed about us page & tweeked the sidebar a bit. Feel free to look around and read a little more about us. I realized that as much as I love my blog, I'd much rather use it as a place to post about my day to day life & all the things involved in it, which include my family & whatnot. I spent my entire day on this place and completely neglected to do all the laundry & dishes. Oops.

Paul gets off work... um now. Crap! haha. I better put this laptop down & put some real clothes on, since we're going out to dinner when he gets home. Total slacker today, except for the new blog! I don't think he'll care either way, so no worries on my end. ANYWAY. I need to get my butt moving. I'll be back soon with a update about whats been going on with me tonight or tomorrow. But until then, how do you like the new look? Comments are love, dahhhling!

hi ho hi ho, off to ikea we go!

Today we made our way to Ikea to pick up the bathroom goodies I mentioned in my last post. I was actually right on the money on how much we'd spend (on our first trip... hehe!) & I got everything I needed. I have to go back & pickup more towels, a new shower rod (to hang the curtain), a new mirror & cabinet for over the toilet & maaaybe a few more decorations and/or frames/art. But, this first trip was a success, so that's all I care about! Everything will fall into place in time.

I also finally picked out which paint colors I'm going to use. I chose Behr Premium Plus | Tangerine Dream & Jamaican Sea from Home Depot. I don't think images do the colors justice, because they are a tad brighter looking in person & just so beautiful! They really pop & stand out. Here is a couple of images I found on google of these two colors on walls.




Preeetty, riight? Love them! It really was love at first sight, no doubt about it. I knew right away when I spotted these that they were the ones meant for my bathroom walls. I also decided on this design for how I'm going to paint the bathroom. The Tangerine Dream will be on the top (ceiling, top of the wall) and then the Jamaican Sea will be the second half, the bead board will be white, as well as all the trim.

Tomorrow I'm going to start ripping all of the tiles off the walls, more on that here. Then hopefully next week I'll be able to go pickup the paint, molding & bead board, as well as other little random things we need to DIY.

BTW, as you can tell my obsession for all things orange & teal has taken over my blog. I had to change my layout to reflect my mood & love for these amazing colors! I also Pinned some of my favorite orange & teal design combos on Pinterest! Check it out! Hope you all have a great week!
