Hey!  We couldn't get pregnant for well over a year...I was one of those 'want to get pregnant' girls! We had a really hard time, so this is a huge blessing! I never miscarried, just couldn't get pregnant.
That blanket over the chair is my baby blanket! My mom gave it back to me a couple weeks ago when she came to visit.
I hope you are pregnant SOON!

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 are! That's awesome...it's great that you have that motivation!
I would do something like that, I just really don't think I'd be that good at it! I mean, I'm good at knowing what I like...but other people?? I don't know!

I know that I'm certainly hoping that by the time we're havign kids I've started as a garden designer so that even if I get really sick and can't do a regular job I can design part time. I LOVE designing. Doing it for other people is the best as you get to try out ideas that you might not do at home!  My garden plan for home is a disaster as I keep on trying to fit ALL my favourite plants in. I did one for my parents garden (based on what they said they wanted/liked) and it was soooo much easier, cos I just went "okay, this is what's wanted, this is the space, what can I do wih that?".
I think being a good designer is about having an eye for colour and spaces and then listening to people. Like, I LOVE your nursery, but your dining room isn't "me". HOWEVER, I can see that it's really stylish and the space and colours works really well  . That's the kind of room I might design for someone else...in this house it would never stay looking nice so I wouldn't go for such a "perfect" design in the first place.  Also, my parents got a pro garden designer to do most of their garden (not the bed I've designed) 3 years ago and while they love most of it, he totally didn't listen to what they said - blew the budget on 1/3 of it, etc. Listening to the clients is what makes people recommend designers to their friends!
And hey, if you did do that, you could use your engineer maths, technical know-how and perfectionism in something you really like that works around little Grant.

Ohhhhhh Cara! It looks so sweet! Almost exactly how we did our first nursery. Blue and white. I did all white furniture too!
Stripes are SO "in" now. Justin & your dad did a great job. Oh and the Sweet Dreams is just precious!!!

until I saw yours Cara! I LOVE the walls! I am so afraid to do something like that for fear of messing up. So I guess I'll settle with my plain green walls!!!!

We have VERY similar dining rooms! I love your taste in furniture! Hehe. I searched for a hutch like that for so long...love it!
I love your dining room! You should get those little lamp shades for the light bulbs - they look SO cute..they sell them everywhere now.
Don't be scared to paint! You can always paint right over it... but I think the green looks great in there!

Thanks Cara. My hubby is handy too and he did all the picture box framing and crown moulding himself. (Had to buy him a $300 tool to do it  )!!! But at least now I can get him to crown mould the whole house
I'm so very bad with paints. Now that that color is up I want it a shade darker in green. He's ready to kill me! I'm sure it will stay that color for some years though  The dining room chandelier is GOING! I just having found the right one but it's too funny that you say to get one with the lamp shades cuz I was leaning toward one like that LOL!
