cara your room is so so cute!!!
I love the stripes.. my mom has them done in my parents house too and they look awesome! I want to do them in my own room, but I'll probably wait until I move into a real house. My mom also made diamonds on the wall with glaze and that looks AMAZING. just huge diamond shape outlines instead of stripes with the bottom reaching the top of the next one. So elegant.
as for your quotes... my mom also writes those on the wall! we have eat drink and be merry in the dining room.. and live to the point of tears above the door to outside. she's really into the calligraphy on the walls and it does look precious.
anyways congrats. the place is awesome! now do you have another spare room for kid #2?
oh yeah and show us the dining room.. it sounds fabulous.

Here's the dining room - looks really cool in person! This is my fav room.
That was right when I was finished...now we put a huge mirror on that far wall - it's shaped like an upside down U...really pretty...and some sconces on the sides of the china cabinet. I got a table runner that's really pretty, and little lamp shades for all the lights in the chandelier....I guess I should take another picture sometime! 
I've seen a room where people did diamonds with the glaze! I forgot about taht! It looks really cool. I'll try that sometime.
We have one more room - the guest room right now. So when we have another kid, there won't be a guest room anymore - oh well! Unless we somehow find money to finish the basment, which doesnt seem possible for like another 234892 years.

You should seriously consider interior design for people on the side to make extra money - OR you can do this in the evenings to make extra money if you want to stay home with your baby!!
You have a nak for it and should show of your talents!

I just love to decorate....clean, and decorate And paint.
It's so much fun! I don't even know how to do that as a side job...I'd be scared that someone would hate what I did!

Oh I don't know - I mean all you would have to do is their input - as to what they would like, the colors, give them ideas on what to do for decorating with their new look etc.
You could charge a per hour basis and give them some names of some good companies to buy stuff off of. Pretty much you do the leg work and they do the purchasing. Then you would paint and do suggestions that way.
You could to an internet search and see what other interior designers get for that sort of thing per hour. I would assume it could be worth your while if you are good at it.
Let me know if you want any help hashing out an idea...I, in no way, mean to sound conceided, but I am quite the little entrepenuer - my dad always teases me that I know so many people and have too many ideas to tie myself down to one thing LOL

you really have to stop making us not-able-to-get-pregnant-yet women want a baby!!
Anyway, the stripes are fabulous and your precious little baby boy will love the room! The blanket over the chair looks really cute, too.

It looks beautiful Cara I'm not much of a kid person (I like them but don't want any of my own) but that room really tugs at the heartstrings.
I loved your dining room pic as well, really classy looking!
