"You Complete Me"

Did I actually finish something? We have SO MANY projects going on around here, in addition to the regular mommy/kid routine AND being pregnant, that I am starting to lose track of which way is up.

I'm impressed that Aaron and I managed to complete about 75% of this project TOGETHER. (we don't play nice during project time and often fight over how something should be done, or who's way is better). We agreed not to spoil a good thing and he happily passed the "project buddy" torch over to Kasey, who came over to lend a hand for the final assembly...which turned out to be more complicated than we'd expected. Anyway, thanks K for sticking it out with me and helping get the job done! I feel so much relief being able to cross SOMEthing off my never ending "To Do" list!

Still a few little touch ups here and there (like that extra piece of backing sticking up off the top of the mini shelf was removed, along with 2 nails where I missed the target...and of course, PAINT! It will be blue tomorrow!) but overall...here's the scoop!

The inspiration:

Our version:

I guess I should've waited to photograph it until after it's hung on the cute pink wall and full of books...but you get the idea. And I'll probably post another pic after I paint the mini-me shelf, but just imagine that it is blue to match that dang cute bedding I'm going to make:
