The Sorensen Family: Window happenings, chair happenings, girly happenings

First, the little lady is completely indifferent during bathtime. She doesn't cry, like most babies. She just...sleeps.

Weirdo!

Second, we have been working on tiny projects here and there around the house, mostly related to decorating. It's been fun to do, but I keep jumping from room to room and it's making me feel kind of scatterbrained. And mamas with newborns typically don't need additional help in that area. I am simultaneously working on artwork for both girls rooms, office organization, a bit of decor for the basement, a rug and mirror for the foyer, tweaks to the sunroom, possible paint colors for the front door, and making plans for our dining room update later this summer. Pick a room already, Sorensen! Sheesh.

A recently helped me organize a bin of tiny baby stuff.

Which ended up not really being organized at all, but traipsed around the house. #muchmorefun

The accidental coloring station with a table and chair that we had in the dining room for a couple weeks was such a hit, I thought she might enjoy a similar set-up in her room.

The test was successful. Reading on the floor is sooo last week. I can't wait to paint/refinish those two furniture pieces. The chair I thrifted for $10 a few months ago. The seat has a hinge on it, and I think it would be fun to add a metal basket underneath it. We'll see. The side table I stole from our master bedroom, where it just collected dust as a picture frame holder. It will have a much more fun life in A's room, I hope. :)

The garden stool was used as a side table in A's old room, and isn't something I plan to use in the new nursery, so it makes the perfect mommy/daddy seat at the table. The accent rug is from Target. Oh, and look at those curtains! That bolt of fabric finally decided to leap up onto the windows.

Thrilled with how they look in both rooms. They are more substantial in A's room than the nursery, due to the window set-up, but that's okay. My first major forray into curtains...check.

And speaking of the windows, we have blinds!

No more hiding in the bathroom to get dressed in the guest room. Hunter Douglas faux wood 2.5 inch blinds. Basic and easy. We had them installed in all three bedrooms upstairs and the girls' bath window.

Finally, we moved the wooden table and chairs up from the basement and into the sunroom for the season. As expected, it's a hit.

The girl loves a good chair. (She even launched herself off of one at PBKids the other day, and has mentioned it every day since. "Chair, mama. Bump head!")

That sunroom needs a burst or two of color in the worst way. It's very tan on tan on tan right now. I've seen a couple tutorials for painting seagrass rugs like the one we have, maybe I'll look into that...
