Yes those are snorkeling flippers, what don't you have flippers still in the package somewhere? As you can see this room hasn't been used to it's potential. It used to be my art room. When K and I started talking about having a baby we decided this room would be the best one. That triggered a little TLC in the back bedroom where my art room is now.
I've seen many kids rooms and nurseries where the closet was transformed with drawers and shelves into a much more organized space. I thought it would be a good way to use the dressers. Unfortunately they didn't fit. Actually they were too big by 3/8" - how frustrating. Thankfully dad and Kenrick were determined to make them fit. After some modifying and removal of the tops they were able to make them fit. This weekend they are going to install a piece of MDF as a new dresser top and we will paint it to match the room. Now the dressers look like built ins and the Bunny will have lots of clothing storage.
More sad before pictures
I really only took the pictures while we were painting to be able to use them as before and after shots.
Stay tuned, we have another busy weekend a head of us. My parents, aunt and uncle will be spending the weekend helping us around the house some more. I hope to have an after shot of the closet top and the drying bar in the laundry room. My aunt and I will be turning the kitchen into our sewing room. I hope to have the drapes, and crib skirt done.

How ya gonna leave me hanging like this?!
I am fond of those ceiling mount drum styles. Show him pictures of the one in the landing on MakingItLovely. There is a lovely black chandelier at Lowe's, they don't have a photo of it online though. It is fairly inexpensive. Do you have Lowe's in Canada? Lighting is a tough decision, there are sooo many choices.
Can't wait to see the progress you guys make over the weekend! Good luck!
There's a really nice chandelier at Home Depot but it's white and has crystals on it. I guess not very gender neutral but I wish I would have bought it for my daughter's room. I bought the one at Canadian Tire before I knew this one existed.
There are a lot of cool lighting ideas on this site, just don't look at the price tag ;)
