The cleaning out of my closet has been the biggest joy ever! I can't tell you how absolutely amazing it is to walk into my closet and to know, without a shadow of a doubt, that everything is completely wearable. Here's the carnage...

The other room I'm very pleased with is the updated master bathroom. There are two walls that need something but I'm not sure what to put up. I guess the deciding factor will be what accent color we decide on for the master bedroom. Since there is no divider between the two rooms I want them to somewhat coordinate. One of my most favorite parts is the hook that J hung for me so that I could hang my blow dryer and hair straightener. I hate leaving them on the counter but can't put them under the cabinet until they are cool so...there they sit...on the counter. Well...until now! It looks absolutely awesome!

Onto some fun baby stuff! Remember how I mentioned that SIL and I held off on buying more flannel material for the baby wipes and instead I decided to use what I already had. Well...I got to cutting the other day. It was awesome! I sat down at the coffee table, turned on Mad Men on Netflix, and got to cutting. In the end, I have 65 8"x8" double sided wipes and 20 4"x8" wipes. All that is left is to stitch the edges. I guess I should say "all that is left" since that will take some time. Better get cracking on that since the due date is just a couple of months away.
I also finally have my chore chart kind of laid out. I've been doing it for a couple of days now and the chores for each day doesn't take much longer than 20 or so minutes. Obviously that will extend a bit due to the addition of a baby but still...it seems much more manageable. Pretty excited to see how it all works out. Here's the plan layout.
Here is the awesomeness that is our downstairs half bathroom. I've very excited for how it has turned out. J hung the picture above the toilet for me as a surprise while I was away which I very much appreciated but he hung it just a little bit high for my mental picture. Rather than complain and ask him to do it again I decided to just add something to the back of the toilet to make the wall appear less...spacious. I'm so stoked! Oh and one of my most favorite parts is the fact that it is so easy to change the who appearance of the room just by changing the color of the towels. Everything else is black and white so it will adapt to any color. Love it!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaand last but not least...the beginning of the guest room! Unfortunately I didn't get a true before photo so these will have to do. So far this remodel has cost $0. These are the shutters that I got months ago for free off of craigslist. J worked magic on getting them all put together. They were short by about 3 inches so he took apart the forth shutter and used the edges to make it just a little bit wider. Absolute perfection! I wish I could paint the wall but alas...a girl has to do what a girl has to do. I want to work on the duvet cover next. Pretty excited about that part. Oh and I found what I want to make for our master bedroom bedcover but I'm not ready to unveil it yet.
Well, that's all I have for now. I will definitely have more to add soon due to SIL handing me the crack pipe that is called Pinterest. If you belong then you know exactly what I am talking about. We'll see what else I can get put together before lil JD is born. Well...I hope you have enjoyed my little photo journal. I'll try to get better about posting pictures more often.
Looking good.
