Nesting in Full Swing! :)

So, as the title states, the nesting bug has settled in hard at our house! That to do list I keep mentioning got just a little smaller this weekend thanks to my sweet husband! When we first moved to CA and we didn't know anyone, we decided to go hit some garage sales one weekend for entertainment. While we were out we ran across a steal of a deal on a full sized canopy bed and decided to buy it for Hannah when she moved to a "big girl" bed. It had everything but the mattresses and it was $40 or less, so even though at the time she was four or five months, we decided it was too cute to pass up. Now, it had a few scratches and dings in the wood that I wasn't willing to sand and re-stain, so we decided to paint it to match her bedding when the time came. Well, a few weeks ago, after lots of internet and store shopping, I found the perfect bedding on Wal-Mart.com and decided to get it while it was on sale! SO, now that it is Rachel for sure and the nursery will stay the same, we were able to take it out of the package and get the bed ready! Here is the bed before the spray painting began yesterday:

We have found a few spots that will need a little touch up eventually, but for now, we are pretty pleased with how it looks! I think Hannah likes it too, even though she isn't quite ready for this big of a bed yet!Here is a closer look at the colors and patterns in the bedding. Now, we have the bed and bedding, but we still are on the lookout for a cheap dresser and accessories. Plus, I still am not sure what to do with the canopy part, but luckily we still have a little bit of time! Yeah for being one step closer! :)
