Flip a dining set I thought … how hard could it Flip a dining set I thought … how hard could it be?! When you’re a type A perfectionist that needs to execute to your exact vision and have a 4 month old needing you all the time, apparently very hard. 

But man is she pretty. 

My margins on this are basically nonexistent with all of the mistakes (cough:: learning opportunities) I had a long the way but I’m proud of that it came out exactly as I envisioned. Now the big question: how much do you think I can sell it for?

We’re so ready for you baby girl! When we starte We’re so ready for you baby girl! When we started working in the nursery there was not a chance I thought it would be totally ready in time. Close? Sure. But finished? No way. 

We are so lucky to have so many people help us along the way (and for getting so many great deals on marketplace to bring this room together!) 

Now all we need is a little girl to use it!

Can you believe this was all done with scrap wood that we had in the garage?

I feel like we’ve done so much work to the house this year but when it’s almost all in one room, I’m realizing it doesn’t always look like it. 

With the nursery almost ready to go and baby girl coming any day, we can only begin to imagine the great things 2023 is going to have in store for us! 

Happy New Year everyone!
