more apartment pictures

Here are more pictures of our apartment.
This is Jacoby's bathroom or our guest bathroom. It's going to be an owl bathroom. It still has a lot of work to do, but will have a lot of bright colors with brown. My mom and I did the owl specimen art in the shadow boxes when they came to visit. They were lots of fun. We found the cute owl punch at Michael's.

I made the little owls and had them printed as 4x6s and put them in this frame.

My mom made a couple of these for my little sisters' room, but when Olivia moved into another room(took over Thomas'), she said I could have one of them. I was thrilled because I'd been eying it and hinting at wanting it for awhile. I kinda talked about stealing it really. My sisters and I do that all the time about things of our mom's. I Modge Podged different paper over top and added sheets of metal that I had my Uncle Dave cut for me.

Here's Jacoby's room. It's so fun to finally have it done. It was so fun to do. I found some darling fabric that was a line from Riley Blake that I fell in love with and used throughout the entire room on different projects. I used it for the pennant banner, pillow sham, laundry basket liner, and toy basket liners. For the bedspread, I made a duvet cover out of a set of queen sized sheets. They were the perfect size for a twin duvet cover and hardly required any cutting. My mom helped me with so many of these projects! Debie made the awesome bed skirt. She used some heavier white fabric and added a thick strip of green grosgrain ribbon on the bottom.

The J is for Jacoby frame came from an idea I saw on the internet.

It's really fun to have a picture from highschool of Tyler playing baseball in Jacoby's room. I originally gave it to him for Christmas before Jacoby was born, but knew that it would be fun in Jacoby's room. Jacoby always points to it and says, "Daddy. Baseball. Mitt." I framed a scrapbook page of Jacoby's that I will switch out from time to time. The collection of J's was really fun. I started collecting them a long time ago, so it was fun to finally have enough to do what I wanted with them.

I loved the shelves like this that I'd seen in Pottery Barn and happened to find one for ten bucks at Downeast.

This is the papasan chair that my mom recovered. I didn't do much there, I was her assistant as she was sewing it with the chair attached. (Not an easy project)

So nice to finally have this dang bookshelf done. It was quite the project, but I think I'm just slow. We got the bookshelf from Tyler's parents. It was brown, so we sanded and repainted it white, took off the backing and added beadboard, and added crown molding to the top. Devan cut the molding for us and my dad attached it when they came to visit. Thank you guys, we couldn't have done it without ya. The molding just finishes it off. I had my aunt cut vinyl for the buckets and Debie embroidered the liners. I added a strip of fabric to the liners of the baskets.

This is Jacoby snuggling up with his quilt my mom made. Isn't it awesome? As you can see, she also used the same fabric I used throughout his room. She brought it to him when they visited and I was ecstatic. It turned out awesome, Mom!

Here's a better picture of the entire quilt. It's such a fun design. Jacoby loves it, he likes to go get it while he watches movies and says, "Janet, thank you." He doesn't ever say Grandma Janet, just Janet, not very respectful huh? :)

Well, there it is, the rest of our little apartment. It's feeling a little more like home now. Thanks to everyone who helped us with all of our projects; our families are both very talented.
