1. We're adding paint. Last I heard, gray was out, so I guess I'm behind on that. I've been craving a nice white wall, so we are going to go in with Chantlilly Lace by Benjamin Moore. I've always been a plain Jane and simple has always felt best, so we're going with that. From what I've researched, it's a white that will complement both cooler and warmer tones. I'll definitely have to update on that.
2. Getting a whole new bed + making the bed our central focus. Our full size is just not cutting it anymore especially now with Noah. Some mornings, we'll grab him from his crib and bring him in to bed with us, but there's just not enough room. I would want enough space for multiple kiddos to get to jump into bed with us in the future, too, so that's kind of the idea.
We decided on a mattress and a totally new headboard which I think will add a lot of character. I'll update in a later post.
3. Moving my "office" out of the room + making space. Sometimes you just have to do what you can, but my MIL has graciously offered me space so I can move my desk out of the room. I'm so grateful as it'll clear up so much space in here and if Noah needs to nap, I can work on things at my desk without waking him. Again, it'll free up more space to move things around that will make a little more sense.
4. Adding a large mirror. I don't have one in mind yet, but a large mirror will definitely open the room up a little more as well. We only have one small window and it sits in the corner of our room so we rarely get nice lighting.
We made a very quick trip to Minnesota to allow my mother-in-law some time to hang out with her sisters. It turned out to be a nice little get-away for our family as well. We didn't have any plans, really, but it turned out to be kind of relaxing for us, so for memory's sake, I wanted to include this on as one of our travel highlights from the summer.
