We built bunk beds for the boys using the Side Street Bunk Beds Plan off Ana White's website. They were so much work, but it was really fun to work with Nate on a project. And don't worry, Isaac is not sleeping on top yet, we will wait another year and a half or so before he moves up to the top! I love the color we picked to paint the bunk beds, but it makes me want to paint their room a light gray - but that is not going to happen soon, so we'll settle for blue. We just picked up some orange pillows from Ikea for the bed too, the bed turned out better than we thought it would considering we've never built anything before!
Of course I could not get him to sit still for one second for a picture.
I have also wanted to make the boys quiet books for a while, so I finally got to work on them this spring before the baby arrives! These were more work than any other project I've done, but they are done and the boys play with and like them - so that's good! I made two identical books, so this one is Luke's. And there are 8 pages total, but I'm only putting a few on here:
These last few are two of their favorites:
We also needed a dresser for the baby, so we found this one at a garage sale, I don't have a before picture - but it was a terrible paint job, and red! So we painted it white, I bought some hardware at Ikea that we still need to put on, but our baby girl's clothes are finally organized so I was glad to finish this project.
Lastly, Luke's quilt! I bought the pattern from Cluck Cluck Sew, and using a pattern was so nice - and I love this one! It looks so boy to me.
I cant help but post a few of the boys too:
