New Bedroom Set

With the baby coming, we got to talking about some changes we need to make in our place. First of all, the office will need to be turned into a baby room. That means the computers, bookshelves, and all the stuff in the closet will need to go... somewhere else. With that in mind, we started thinking it might be nice to have some dressers in our room to store clothes so that we can store other stuff in our closets...

Just before Memorial Day, we thought we would look at bedroom sets since there would be plenty of great sales. After hunting for a few days, we were able to settle on a price range for what we wanted. We found a beautiful bedroom set and got it for a great deal! We also got a new mattress with it too - something we have wanted for over a year now as our old mattress is extremely uncomforable... It was so exciting purchasing a bedroom set as we knew it would transform our bedroom. I was most excited about having a dresser for my clothes! (No more cramming my socks into this tiny plastic thing in my closet...)

I took some "before" and "after" pictures.

Notice one of our side tables - a t.v. tray. It worked for 3 years just fine, but we are so thankful to have nice sturdy side tables with drawers...

These pictures are take at a different angle from each other. Notice Ethan's chest in the corner. It is from his childhood. It worked fine, but it is quite old and the drawers didn't work too well. His new chest is bigger and the drawers slide out so smoothly. Also, notice my dresser - the one in the corner with the mirror on it. I'm soooooooooo excited to have drawers! The last time I had a dresser with drawers was in college. I'm so thankful. :)

One more funny thing I have to point out... See the blue thing under the window? Well, that is our Christmas Tree in its box. We weren't quite sure where to store it (and still have to figure it out) so we put a sheet on it and it functioned as a little table where I could store stuff.
