A new decorating scheme

As I'm on a decorating bend, I thought I'd check out the prices on the baby bedding I'd picked out last year.

Surprise! It's been discontinued! I searched the Internet furiously all weekend to no avail. It's long gone. Argh!

I found another set on eB#y and I went ahead and purchased it. It is really cream and black, not black and white. Take the wall hangings, diaper stacker, mobile and other junk out of the picture; that stuff is all too cutesy.

I want to make some changes so I'll have to dust off my sewing skills. Really, I can sew, could sew, way back in the good old days.

I have said before that I don't like toile, but times change. And I saw an episode of DivIne Des#gn on a nursery in toile and I liked the look.

Grandiose plans are my specialty.

Nursery decorating has begun (technically)

I bought a dresser for the nursery this weekend. It's vintage (or should I just say old) and right now has a dark stain. The picture is very dark, but it is a 6-drawer highboy.




I found it at my favorite antique mall, He@rt of Ohio Ant*ques. Great place, good dealers. I prefer vintage furniture; it's a better quality, solid hardwood instead of pressboard (see 99% of the junk from $ottery B##n). Prices are a fraction of new and hey, it's green to recycle furniture!

It's not so perfect and vintage that I'd be afraid to paint it, which is good since I haven't decided on a furniture finish for the room.

It might go white or cream or even some other color, and I may swap out the knobs for something fun or funky.


But, techinally, I have started decorating the room. Or I will as soon as I can get the dresser up the stairs!
