Making progress

This week­end we made a lit­tle bit of progress on Ms. Bailey’s new room. The cur­tains came in (although I need to order more clips to hang them with). Here’s a glimpse of them and the new wall color.

We also got the fur­ni­ture ordered, but of course noth­ing ever goes accord­ing to plan. I had had my eye on a long dresser and a book­case from JC Pen­ney for the last few months, but we were just wait­ing to order it. It came in the per­fect color and was pretty much exactly what I had wanted. All through the hol­i­days, it remained in stock and at full price, no indi­ca­tors of it going away any time soon. Well, Sat­ur­day I hap­pened to check to see if it was still avail­able and the long dresser no longer came in the color we wanted!! I was SO mad! For­tu­ately, they came out with this changing/dresser combo that I think will work just as well. We have to scrap the book­case idea now though and get a tall dresser instead since we don’t have much stor­age space in the closet in her room.

So, here’s what we ended up get­ting.

and this is the tall dresser

Of course they are both back­o­rdered too!! The one isn’t expected to come in until the end of Feb­ru­ary!! I hope it’s an over­es­ti­mate though.

Since I was feel­ing sorry for myself, I ordered this lamp with the pink shade too and am going to add some brown and pink rib­bon trim that I picked up at Michael’s to the lamp shade. I think it will turn out cute.

So, that’s our lit­tle update on Bailey’s room. It’s SO much fun to do a girl room and it’s really com­ing together nicely. Now, if Tony would just get out the crib and all of the other baby stuff, we’d be in REALLY good shape!
