In Mourning

This weekend I am officially in Morning...

I am in morning for all my "skinny" clothes that I can no longer wear.  Though I was never a size 4 and pretended to wear a size 6 (in clothes that ran large) I was mostly a comfortable size 8.
Now I am officially a size PREGGO aka fat butt sandwich.
I am done squeezing myself into my old pants and finished attempting to stretch my shirts so that they hang longer over my growing belly.

This weekend I am breaking down and cleaning out my closet.  All my beautiful, slimmer fitting clothes are being relocated to the back, dark corner of my closet and may never be seen again.
I will try on each individual item in my closet and give each skirt, shirt, and dress one last chance to fit for maybe another final wearing.

If you're out there reading my blog, I only ask one thing...
In honor of my old wardrobe, pull out your "skinny outfit" and wear it for me this weekend.

This blog is dedicated to my favorite pair of skinny jeans.  May you rest in peace.

Our Baby Furniture Project

My Brother and Sister-In-Law were sweet enough to give us their crib and changing table among other baby essentials.  And being the Design Monster I am I just had to take the beautiful furniture they gave us and customize it for my baby.  So Wes and I headed to Lowes.  Here's our Baby Furniture Project...

BEFORE

Process...

 Step 1: Put your Husband to work sanding the furniture.  

Step 2: Tape off areas of the furniture you don't want paint on.

Step 3: Make your husband paint the furniture.  

Step 4: Add a Wash Finish

I just used white and brown acrylic paint mixed with water.

Step 5: Sand corners and random areas to give the furniture character.

AFTER

Now our furniture is complete.  Next step, baby bedding!!!  

I'd also like to give a shot out to my wonderful husband for putting his heart and soul into this furniture project.  He deserves a big gold star!!!
