My plans were foiled, however, when I discovered that our basement carpet was wet. As in, super wet. As in, somehow our sprinklers turned on and didn't turn off for at least 4 hours and as a result flooded our basement as well as our neighbor's basement. As in "crap..."
So currently the carpet is torn up in the basement, the baseboards are popped off, there is a chorus of several hug fans all humming together, and our TV is crammed into our front room.
Instead, I shall show pictures of Joel's room because that's probably the cutest room in the house anyway. Plus I can show off my craftiness that I did.
I cut out some fabric birds and then made some fabric starch. You then get the fabric wet in the starch, blow-dry the fabric so it's not dripping wet, and then iron the fabric on the wall. It's great because you can do some great decorations and if you decide you don't like where it is you can move it no problem; no lasting damage to the walls.
I'll post more pictures of the place when we get the gi-normous fans out of the basement and get everything somewhat put back together. We're going to have to wait to re-finish stuff so it won't look put together in the pictures but I guess that's ok since it lets me figure out what I want to do with the paint color and all that.
In the mean time, enjoy some Joel pictures (I need to start taking more pictures of Drew and I.. we have no pictures of just the two of us.. )
