Week 7 – Bedroom
This past week I shopped a lot for colored accents to use in our bedroom with no luck! I just couldn’t find anything I liked. However upon shopping around in my own home I managed to find enough green accessories like frames, vases, and a pillow to use in the bedroom to brighten it up just a little. And the best part, I didn’t spend a dime! Also this week I finalized the layout of the nursery and it’s pretty much done with the exception of a few baby proofing items we need to take care of and possibly some curtain hanging for some sound deadening. Unfortunately Kevin wasn’t into the green velvet curtains that were donated to us, plus the were not finished on both sides which is necessary since you will see them from the nursery and below from the living room. So we are back to shopping for fabric.
