The Webster at Target

I never want to take being pregnant for granted. I know that this baby is a wonderful gift and miracle, and I am blessed beyond measure to have had such an easy pregnancy.

BUT...I think this baby is about to fall out of my butt. Shim is taking the expression "Get Low" to a whole new meaning.

Onto more fashionable types of things- Have you been in Target lately? Of course you have! And I am sure you have seen all of the "Shops at Target" signs. And while Lucy and Winnie have been drooling over the idea of Polka Dog, I am drooling over the Webster- originally based out of Miami.


My top three picks?

Jacquard Tunic- $29.99

Nautical Cap Toe Flat- $29.99

(Sorry so small and grainy)

Obsessed with all things baby

Deco Print Romper- $14.99

The Waffle Palace

Last night, Husband and I had a little date night to see the new play The Waffle Palace- based on real stories from the Waffle House. He was given the tickets for volunteering at the Atlanta Community Food Bank, which made for a fun (and free) date. The play was at the Horizon Theatre, which happens to be in one of my favorite places, Little Five Points (lots of great people watching.) It opens to the public on May 11th, and I highly recommend it, especially to those who are from Atlanta. It was hilarious!

The Set

Prayers appreciated- It is Field Day. It is raining. I am pregnant. Help.

The Nursery: Pie Safe

I have learned that if my hands are idle, I will find a project.

My mother warned me that a nursery is constantly evolving and never will truly be finished. I want it to be finished. Yesterday.

Some things are out of my control. I have to learn to accept this. Tomorrow.

Last Monday, I was reading Shelter, and I saw this amazing photo.

And what made perfect sense? Let's redo the pie safe!

I proceeded to go to Home Depot on Tuesday and buy what I thought was a nice "avocado green" shade to paint the inside. (I wanted the lovely pink color above, but not sure how a potential son would feel about it.)

Fast forward to Saturday- Husband leaves for a race, so I find it the perfect time to get to painting. After one coat, I wasn't happy. I simply thought that maybe it needed another coat. I painted a second coat. It began to resemble a sick baby's diaper. I painted one more coat, and I was done. I hated it. I knew it was awful, but I had spent an entire day painting coats and letting it dry, and I did not want to redo it. I decided to text Husband to see what he thought. Maybe he would love it!

His response? "You purposely bought that color? It's not Oops Paint? Huh."

I knew he was right. I knew it was disgusting. I knew it needed to be changed. 

I didn't want to go buy new paint/paint can get expensive after multiple purchases, so I grabbed an old can of Oops Paint that was a pretty minty color. (Oops paint=my BFF times a gazillion.) Even if I didn't keep it that color, it was better than Oscar the Grouch green. 

Then, I took the fabric that I have had forever (it was once going to be used to make curtains, but who am I kidding?) and covered the two shelves with it. You may remember this fabric from here.

I can't get over how much I love that coral fabric. I am really digging it with the mint. Yum

Closer up.

This weekend, Husband and I plan to take some of our old baby toys from our parents' houses to fill the shelves with. I think I am going to leave the gnome though since I was pregnant this weekend and didn't know it :)

Yes, Please

Mondays are just doomed when it comes to blogging. I have pictures for a nursery update, but need more than five minutes to get them into a post. I am however most excited about Essie's newest collection...

Essie's "Office"Collection. I need.

And from this weekend...

Neither are backing down

There may be a pay-per-view special.

News and other Ramblings

First of all, I just want everyone to know that I plan on adopting a pocket goat in the near future. Hope it loves town home living...and is down with infants.

Last night, Hubs and I joined our church's small group to watch the Braves game. We had to leave at 9:00 for bed...apparently, it was a pretty amazing game. Whoops- sorry Hubs.

In nursery/OCD project news, I do have two piece of furniture that I am working on. One is a cheap desk that I am trying to turn into a sofa table. The other is a piece for Jammer's room. Hopefully, they will be finished soon, and I can show some progress pictures!

And finally, in teacher news, tonight it our fifth grade performance. Apparently, I tend to get a little "Toddlers and Tiaras" as I put them in rows for a well-spaced danced and am yelling, "Sparkle Baby!" every five seconds...kidding (sorta.) It will be interesting to see how the Evolution of Dance plays out tonight. The Running Man is proving difficult.

TGI(Almost)F!

DIY- New Orleans Art

When Husband and I were in Alabama for Easter, we stopped by Prattville Pickers (which is an awesome flea/antique market if you are in the Montgomery/Prattville area.)

We love New Orleans art and couldn't pass up these four prints of the French Quarter...especially since they were only $5 a print.

Unfortunately, the mats were yellowed and the frames weren't my style. With Jammer on shim's way, I couldn't justify coughing up the money to get them re-matted and framed.  

Solution? Why my BFF- black spray paint!

Much better. You will soon be finding your new home somewhere in my house!

Love A Good Sale- Z Gallerie

With the extra L-Bs, fashion blogs and sales have become less of an obsession. Instead, I am consumed with interior design blogs, magazines, sales, etc. One of my favorite places to shop for interiors is (and has been since setting foot in Atlanta) Z Gallerie. Ever since I scored a mirrored glass coffee table (for $40!!!!) there, I have made it a weekly stop.

While wandering around on ZGallerie.com, I stumbled upon this...

Bistro Adjustable Table & Stools- $129.99

This needs to be in my house. Unfortunately, trying to justify this to Husband after I just sold our bar table and stools for a larger table was quite difficult. Therefore, I will pass the savings onto you. Don't you love it?

Something that did make it's way to my shopping bag?
