We are bold

Well, at least when it comes to colors. Here are some of the projects we have been working on the last few weeks. The headboard is the one that I found in our dumpster and cleaned up. When I found it, it was silver and had a missing knob on the corner. So we sprayed it bronze and replaced the knob with a curtain rod knob. The dresser was this weekend's project. It is a hand-me-down from Brandon's family and it used to have mismatched handles and ugly milky white stain. On the other hand, it is a really good dresser since it has solid wood construction and dovetail joints. So we sprayed the handles bronze to match our bed and painted it LIME green. You can't tell from this picture, but there is a little bit of lime green on our comforter, so that's where the weird color comes from. Anyways, we really like it and I am excited to get started on decorating the baby's room. The baby has been busy lately with kicking Brandon in the face and making me eat weird things. She is a little hyperactive, but at least she will be athletic.

I love your decorations! You even matched the mascara from Teotihuacan! Good job - especially on a tight budget.

Yep! And Brandon found some nice fabric for our window coverings today. It's dark brown suede with a very subtle crocodile skin print. It will go well with our tropical-looking room.
