New Carpet Pics

Josh and I just put in new carpet in the bedrooms this weekend and it looks great! I love how it turned out. The carpet before wasn't terrible, it was only like 5 years old, but it was the basic carpet with a basic pad and the owners before us had a dog, so it was kind of gross. So, before the baby comes we wanted to make it nice and plush and clean! Here are some pictures before and after:

New carpet and new paint. The paint didn't turn out like we had planned, but it looks nice. We were really trying to stay away from baby blue, but it was bluer than we had hoped. Oh well!



With the crib :) We decided to set up the crib, because heck, new carpet and paint, time to start setting up right? Also, I want to try and make some of the bedding, so I need it to take the measurements. I absolutely love it!

Oh, I love that crib. We have gone through 3 cribs (oi, the recalls!!) and the one we have now is very similar to yours and I love it.

My favorite part during pregnancy is envisioning that little baby in it's crib sleeping. So precious! I'm so excited for you!
