Got the smaller of the 2 dressers done today. Decided to just paint the old drawer pulls yellow rather than go buy new ones. I think is gives it that little extra touch. I am going to do the taller dresser next week, and I am trying to figure out how I should do that one. The taller dresser has 4 drawers, 2 big ones and 2 small ones. I have 5 colors, so I could paint it the same way as the short dresser and re-use one of the colors for the top drawer. I could just paint it 4 colors, but I like the 2 color effect. The final option would be to go get 1 more color, and then use that new color to also paint the side table too. Just tonight I was standing in Pearl's room and I think there needs to be a rainbow on one of the walls. Pearl is so lucky, not only is she coming into the world to 2 parents that have so much love for her, but she also has a very colorful room.
Kim is 36 weeks, on Monday she will be considered "full term" so Pearl could join us any day. We are really getting excited to see her and meet her. When Kim and I were in Holland we went to Utrecht for the day and found a Build-a-Bear store. I made my little pearl her first teddy bear "Chef Clay Bear", it brings a little tear to my eye. I am a Chef and my daughter's first bear is a little Chef Bear, awwwwww.
Pearl got 2 knitted blankets to keep her warm this winter. A square one from my Aunt Bobbie and a round one from my Mother's cousin Alison (I think that makes her my 2nd cousin). I know that Pearl will love them, Kim and I do!!!

Actually, Alison is my second cousin, which makes her your second cousin once removed (or something). She is, in any case, a wonderful, creative, and loving woman!! The room looks great, but there is no space in the crib for Pearl!!!I love Chef Clay Bear. Another suggestion for dresser--how about using the purple from bookshelf as base color and purple for side table--you know I love purple!! Not long now until our little Bean says hello--I am so excited and really proud of the parents you two are already.
Pearl's room is going to be amazing. Daddy is putting his heart and soul into his little girl's very special jungleland! There is still a tall dresser, side-table and bookcase (a beautiful PURPLE, Nana.....whoopee!) to come. This furniture, except for the bookcase, was the very first bedroom suite belonging to my parents - get this....I was conceived on the matching bed so many moons ago! Chef Clay Bear has been relocated, I'll let Mommy and Daddy tell you all about that good news :o)
