My Grandma Hirt came down for a week in July to visit and we had a great time! We went to visit Mallory in Austin one day and went to see the Lady Bird Johnson Wildlife Preserve and toured the Texas state capitol building and had a nice dinner with Mal when she got off work! We also fixed up an old dresser/chest that my Pa-Pa bought for my mom's room when she was little. My dad put a couple of new coats of paint on it and I found some pastel colored knobs that went with my nursery theme on Ebay to switch with the old black metal knobs. Unfortunally I could only find a few online since they are discontinued so we got creative and bought some similar wooden ones at Home Depot and matching paint at Michael's that I painted. After a few more trips to Home Depot, my dad and Grandma finally found the right size screws for all the different types of knobs, we came up with a design scheme for where each one should go - and they put it all togther and brought it over to put in the nursery! It looks FANTASTIC with the other pieces of furniture I have found at garage sales and the crib and bedding we have! I found the book ends online to match the theme and the lamp came with the bedding I got a the Katy Mothers of Multiples garage sale last spring with Brandon. And the little elephant and giraffe figures my dad just randomly saw at Michael's when we were buying the paint and they just happened to look just like the bedding theme animals so I painted them and they really match great! This baby has no idea how crafty their family is becoming - and I had no idea we could pull it off! The nursery is nearly done except the name above the bed (since we don't know gender yet!!!!) and some artwork Brandon is working on! I can't believe October will be here before we know it!!!
