Painting Project Complete...For Now

I decided to be advantageous and paint the alphabet and the numbers on the wall, as well as the border around the desk:

I've Made it Make Sense

A built in desk in an apartment is a good thing, right?
Not so great when you don't have any shelving above the desk!

What purpose does it serve, other than to be an incredibly huge, blank canvas. So I traded in the blank canvas for the obvious choice: shelving!

It doesn't look so weird anymore!

Rodeo Houston

Marleah and I took our annual trip to RodeoHouston; today's featured artist, Gary Allan. We were in section 626, right above the chutes, which was a cool viewing spot!

And, of course, Gary Allan (who's not so bad to look at!)

Fireman's Breakfast

My beautiful niece is two weeks old already! The family went to a fireman's pancake breakfast for my brother, and they took some wonderful photos.

Remodel: As Much As Possible in An Apartment

I have been remodeling/cleaning/decorating my baby bedroom to the fullest extent possible. Since it's an apartment, I am limited on what I can do. So far I have made the window treatment:

For a boy, it's dots

For a girl, it's stripes, with dots and flowers

Not a Blank Slate Anymore...

I finally turned the big, blank wall into something more colorful...

I'm still deciding if I like the random pattern, or if I want something more structured.

Sophie

Sophie had a good day today, hanging out with me. It's been my first Saturday in a long time to be home. She managed to get some work done, too!

 

 

Very Hard to Find...

I want to do my baby room in Wall-Pops, removable decorative dots for the wall. (This is a much easier solution than paint!). Home Depot seems to be the only place that carries them, but even then their selection is not the colors I want. I wound up buying the color Pear, but it was too bright, so I ventured over to a different Home Depot and found to of the colors I want: Hot Chocolate and Stylin' Green. Still looking for Totally Orange.

Only in Texas...

Got stuck behind this truck today...it was rather amusing, since it was my first time...
