"Nesting"

So I feel like I have been "Nesting" now for a few weeks but who would have thought that It would spread to my sweet "manly" husband too. All of the sudden things that needed to be done around the house (for months now) are quickly getting done... and not by my begging, nagging or pleading. I can't be more happy about it! Within the last week or two Ryan has put up a new front door, put in a new front window, helped me recover our living room valance, cleaned out the garage, and painted and retouched the interior house! I love it! We may have gone a little crazy with paint color for the accent wall in the living room (we have never been too afraid to use color) but it has been fun! Now we just wait for our new baby to fill our rejuvenated little nest!

I am so excited about all of your new 'nesting' projects. Kind of ironic that they all happened in the same corner of your house!

Redoing the house is always fun. At least it passes the time faster with something to show for it...

Oh I need that nesting feeling! I have so much to do, and can't seem to get it done!

From the picture, I really like the color on the wall. Keep us posted on what you decide.

Your place looks great! I wish that nesting instinct would kick in for Derek. Maybe now that tax season is over it will. Can't wait to see it all.

My goodness your home is gorgeous! I love you style so much.
I am totally in the nesting stage as well...however, I just stare at the project and then go and lay down because the thought of it makes me start to ache!
Good Luck this week.

Your house is so dang cute! Don't worry Adam really thought that baby at the top was your new little one. Wow!!

I love that orange! I am a color girl and an orange gal. so I totally approve!! It is fun to do something new, especially to keep your mind off the baby!!

Very cute wall color, you have to be confident to pick that color. When will my Ryan start "nesting"? He has a long list and it's going pretty slow.
