After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine...

1. i like being called a lovely lady :)
2. we discussed what you will be doing with the bottom part of your walls in the Ugly Bathroom. If it turns out to be the same stuff as I want in E's room, you must share your experience.
3. Please also share your cucumber sand. recipe. i have been collecting recipes lately and sharing with friends. i have thought about maybe doing a recipe day on the good ol' blog. dont know if i can actually come up with that many, but it would make me have to cook.
4. and finally, i hope the Wii gets better. That is tragic.

I would highly recommend to you the book 'Bridal Bargains.' They have a list in the back that was not nearly as daunting as the one I had on theknot.com. Plus, the cheapskate in me really liked the ideas for not spending so much.
I'd send you mine, but it's several versions too old now and you'll want the newest one. But it's only about $15 or something like that, and totally worth every penny.
I see you in a minimalistic, sheath-type dress with spaghetti straps to accentuate your lovely figure and short hair. But that's just my two cents. You wear what you want and will look fabulous. Everyone does in a wedding dress. ;) Remember the 'Friends' episode where they all wear wedding dresses?
Katie Lady--The hair is getting long but you're right in that I don't think I want the typical ballgown.
Katie S--We're shooting for 09.19.09 but we'll see what we can do...
I found two other possible locations online today. Now we'll just see how expensive they are.
Okay, no more unsolicited or tongue-in-cheek wedding advice from me in 2009.
