Nursery for a Princess - goals for this week
March 11, 2008
Since we officially launched the nursery blogging project, Shauntelle and I have been hard at work planning this project. Well, I’ve been hard at work. I’m pretty sure Shauntelle has been having way too much fun to call it work! 
Anyhow - here’s how this thing is gonna happen. I’m breaking it into two phases. Phase I is happening in March and involves all the projects that have to happen before I can even get into the room to start decorating. Don’t believe me? Check out these Before photos - warning, not for the faint of heart!
This is what happens when you encourage the kids to work independently . . .
Art is messy sometimes . . .
No kidding - this crazy room full of chaos and artwork is going to turn into a peaceful oasis for our little Princess. But not without a whole lot of work…All that stuff has to go somewhere. Currently, we’re using the room as an art room and computer room for the boys.
The plan is to clear out the unfinished side of the basement and convert that into the new art room. That will give them a lot more space, plus the concrete floor is easier to clean than carpet!
To move the art room downstairs, we have to move all the boxes we’re currently storing in that room into the larger storage unit we rented this weekend.
So to recap, this month’s projects are to clear out the room. This week, we’ll move the boxes out of the basement into the storage unit. Next week, we’ll move the art supplies into the totally reorganized art area in the basement. We’ll be setting up shelves and a drying area for their supplies and finished projects. Then we’ll move the computer desk out and clean the room from top to bottom.
Check back to see how we’re doing!

Hey, finding beautiful stuff to fill a Princess’ room is HARD work! I mean I’m over here haunting ebay at all hours of the day and night, trying to come up with plausible reasons to get my husband to make a roadtrip so I can bring you goodies from Atlanta… virtual shopping is hard on a girl’s fingers! LOL!

I noticed from reading your blog that you have had a problem getting kiddie stains out of your carpet. My little guy has spilled everything from milk to art paints on the carpet and I discovered that a product called Resolve Carpet Cleaner works wonders. They sell it at most grocery stores and it’s so much cheaper than renting a carpet cleaning machine or paying a professional to clean the carpets.
