Latest Updo's

Since I don't get to see most of my family and friends very often, I thought I would post a little bit of what our temporary home looks like right now. Just the decor, really. Most of this is Brock's handiwork, but I hate that all his hard work is usually just seen by me, unless we have some rare visitors. :)
This is the latest TV stand. We were finally able to find one that we could make work for the electronics and keep the kids out at the same time!

Brock built a few pieces of furniture using the same wood that was used to build his great grandparent's home. He's a sentimental guy, so I'm glad he was able to find a way to incorporate some of his sentiments in a trendy way. Haha!

This is the little stand he built. He also recovered these chairs.

We had originally kept some DVD's and our DVD player in this. It has faux drawers, but it's actually a door that swings out on a hinge, closing with a magnet. It only kept Kaelyn out for approximately 2 weeks.

And finally, here is the matching console table.

Brock likes to copy almost all things Pottery Barn. So he and I cut this tree out of cardboard, then he covered it in fabric. It's pretty cute.



And here's the one thing I've contributed! Thanks to Gail and Diane for the idea. Each of these is from an actual photo taken of Kaelyn. I love them because they show her personality and are a fun way to brighten her room!



And that's all folks!
