Ethan's Room Decor, Button Hair Ties and Weekend Update

Happy Saturday!! I am so excited about the start of our bedroom makeovers! Trevor had the perfect posters for Ethan's sports room







Is everyone as excited as I am?! I haven't found frames for them yet, or decided exactly where they will live on the walls in his room, but I think they go perfect!

Wasn't it just yesterday Ethan was in a crib? Yes! Oh good, I thought so!! Well...he's about to be 3 so I guess it was time to graduate from a toddler bed to a real big boy twin size bed! We found a great bed today at RC Willey, we'll be picking it up on Monday and I can't wait!! I can't find a picture of the bed on their website so unfortunately everyone will have to wait until Monday!

The room is pretty tiny and we have some pretty big furniture so I do know the new dresser will be living in the closet! I will make sure to post progress pictures as well as before and after photos!

In my last post I said that I was bitten by the sewing bug...I need to amend that to be bitten by the crafting bug! I saw really cute button embellished hair ties, so I decided to make my own.





I just took small hair ties and slip knotted them through the button holes. The one pictured is a big red button. I also made a giant orange ball looking one and a small white pearly one. I guess I should have taken pictures of them, lol!!

Tomorrow we are going to be busy so I better be off to bed!! Good night and until tomorrow!

Bradshaw Baby Farm Project Goals for August

We have about 12.5 weeks left until our due date! We have so much to get done around here before this baby can make his appearance!! Here are some inspirations I've been collecting for the baby's room and Ethan's new big brother room!





We got this same bedding only red and white from Pottery Barn on sale for less than $100...I was so stoked! Our nursery won't look exactly like this PB inspiration, but hopefully it will look somewhat similar!! Oh and our accents aren't going to be "transportation" they will be trains!

Now for my inspiration for Ethan's big brother room (inspiration also from Pottery Barn):





I thought this idea for the top of the dresser is SOOOO cute!! Did I mention I LOVE POTTERY BARN!! I wish I could make my whole house look like a Pottery Barn catalog...well I'm going to try anyway on a budget ;)

I've got some more decorating projects up my sleeve but these are the major inspiration pictures. As we get things turned around here at the Bradshaw house I will make sure to keep before and after updates!!

IN OTHER NEWS:

I have also been on this cleaning craze. I found this fun website called Flylady.net that is all about cleaning and keeping your house company ready! I'm slowly getting my house up to par, and I have been having a great time doing it in the process!! I have discovered that doing a load of laundry a day really cuts down on my weekend cleaning...because laundry is a never ending project!!

Lastly, I have been bit by the sewing bug. I am thinking/finding every project I can for homemade things for Baby #2 and Ethan. Plus I really really want to make myself work clothes! So any ideas/projects you have send them my way!!

I suppose I should do an August Update on the rest of the Bradshaws!!! Trevor is loving his job for the State...YAY!!! The Ace's are in 1st place, so Trevor has been working lots and lots of baseball!! We miss him on those nights but it is so much fun for him!

Ethan is now (I can say proudly) 99.9% potty trained!!!!!! We are still having small accidents here and there but I guess the 2nd try was the charm. He will no longer wear diapers or pull-ups...it is big boy underpants for my little man!!! So far this week we have had 0, yep ZERO, accidents!!!!
