We've done very little work today. This morning, we did a bit of organizing to complete the changes to Carter's room (pics below). Otherwise, it's been lunch, massages, wine tasting and now we're headed off to a Braves game!
Ironically, we've spent much of our child-free time working on Carter's room. Since Carter had never had a bedroom until we moved here, he didn't have any furniture and just inherited the pieces we didn't want in other rooms. He had no dresser, slept on a mattress on the floor and had two beat up trunks and a beat up bookshelf. We bought him a bed frame (which I stained) and a new dresser, and I refinished the two trunks that were already in his room (some of you may recognize these as the first pieces of furniture that I bought when I first lived on my own). We can't wait to show him his new room when we get home with him on Saturday!

This looks beautiful! Good work. So glad you took a day off to pamper! I won't show him, so he can be surprised.
good job on the refinishing! i hardly recognized them. did you use stencils to paint his name on the trunk? looks great!
It so great!! He will love it. Are those trucks decals? Thomas would love them! The bed is adorable, too.
everything looks so sweet. if that room were a gingerbread house, i'd eat it!
Rach - My mom got Carter the wall stickers at a toy store, but you can also get them online here:http://www.nouvellesimages.com/index.php?id=accueil&L=1. They are having a little difficulty sticking to his wall because we have too much texture, I think.
Aarti - I created a rough stencil just using letters printed from my computer. I was really wishing that Joo were here to free hand it for me!
Hooray! Carter's room looks so great!! Such a fun boy room - I'm a big fan of primary colors!
