planning.

it has finally hit me. the urge to decorate. it's only taken 30 weeks, but i think that i'm finally ready to get ready! i have had no idea what to do for his room, until i saw this "wash" thing. and then it hit me. orange and grey. i wanted coral and grey if we had a girl, so orange is pretty close. 

my dilemma is that my budget is $100 for the whole room. dun dun dun. 

this "wash" thing is on pinterest as knock off anthro letters. i am obsessed. they're actually cardboard letters spray painted metallic {cool eh?}. i bought the babe's name in them on the hobby lobby website, and they should be coming this week, so i'll post what they look like when i finish painting them. that will cost me a total of $25 bucks, instead of $25 bucks a letter. cha ching! 

i got this boring lamp from ikea for $20 and the black frames for $3 a pop. i intend to paint those as well. we all know how i love me a little spray paint. 

pom poms-- well those are $3 for 3 of them. easy peasy. 

luckily, i have a sexy husband who is a much better sewer than me, and he will make curtains similar to these during his month off in june, but hopefully significantly cheaper {these are $90 a panel!). i need to scope out joann's to see if they have anything good on sale. 

i would also kill for this rug. i don't remember how much it is, but i highly doubt i'll be able to buy it. i vaguely remember someone painting their rug like this on a blog, so maybe i'll have to research that and do it. 

i also need these anthro knobs for the changing table. last time i got zak's for $2.50 a piece, so i will need to scope out the sale rack at the store to find some cute orange ones. 

we have a super cute cars/trucks bumper pad, so i just need some new sheets and mattress because zak has the mattress and sheets we used last time on his big kid bed. 

fun eh? i think that i'll be able to work it under $100, if i do, i'll be impressed with myself. haha

also, we have officially officially decided on a name.

 Greysen Allister Lowry. 

it's gotten mixed reviews from people, but obviously we don't really care because we love it.
