Our Daily Project

The project for today was putting together the bookshelves for the kiddos. They were almost half-off a few weeks ago and I figured they would be great storage for the kid's rooms.

Abe helped by holding shelves and using the screwdriver. He thought it was cool to be 'Abe the Builder'. Can he do it? YES HE CAN!
He was mighty proud to see his shelf put together because he helped work on it.
Hannah's went much quicker because I knew a bit more what I was doing. Hannah did a super job managing the screwdriver. She screwed in most of the screws even when it got really hard to turn. You go little muscles!Her bins don't exactly match the wall color (sigh... oh well...not that anything matches in our house anyways), but she adored the princess one. I couldn't bear to buy more than one as I don't want her to have a totally princess room.
Max was pretty patient to wait for us to build the shelves. He didn't get new shelves as he doesn't need too much storage quite yet, but here's the color of his accent wall (which I think is darker in reality).
And just for fun if anyone cares to see ... these are the curtains that I love for our living room. The color is Rocky River Faux Silk by HOME at Target. I'm excited to get the downstairs painted a slightly darker neutral tannish than what's in the kid's rooms. I'm thinking the colors will be calm and inviting... and hopefully not too drab.
In other moving news: we still have oodles of boxes we are working on unpacking. Most of us are tired and sickie so not much work is happening as of late with all that. Life seems a whirlwind right now but things will come together and we're excited about our new adventure in this house.
