hmm...I just don't know." With that said, I'm open to opinions and comments (be nice, though, please!)
And I promise, I think the only other nursery progress pictures you'll have to endure are once the curtains are up; the chair and ottoman delivered; and pictures and
knicknacks are hung. Thanks for indulging my excitement!
