Nesting . . .

So I am officially 9 months pregnant which is exciting but I don't think I have ever really had a nesting phase! What's up with that? I was ready to get this nursery together and craft up a storm and I have just felt .... BLAH!
I have however, gotten a few things done and here is Project #1. We actually found this little beauty at a thrift store when I was like 8 weeks pregnant.

At this point we didn't even know if we were having a boy or a girl. My husband is actually the one who found it and he was adamant about bringing it home. At first I thought, it's huge, it's hideous, NO. But when we we saw the price tag I let him indulge. This lamp was only $10. CHEAP! I wasn't even thinking nursery at this point and then DING it hit me! Oh my goodness, it would be perfect for a nursery! With a little love it could fit easily into either girl or boy decor so I was happy that my husband was being stubborn and saw the potential WAY before I did. (Please excuse the mess up top that is my husbands way of protecting the top part of the lamp while spray painting... hahaha he used shelf liner. He is a HOOT! No pun intended)

So after a few coats of enamel spray paint and the addition of a lamp shade I think it turned out well. What do you think?

It looks super modern and it fits our nursery theme of 'Forest' perfectly!
You have to love thrift stores right?
Until next time.... Happy crafting!
