Every (OK, not every) Friday I try to finish something I've started. This week it was the girls' room. We picked up a few items when we were in Ethiopia and they have been hanging out in my closet while I have been...well, that's another story (six kids, you get the picture). Bret went to NY for work and I decided to surprise him by putting together an African Nursery. I did most of the work in the two days he was gone and finished the rest of it today.
Isn't this a beautiful painting? The perfect picture of an Ethiopian mother. I get emotional every time I look at it. (We brought this home from Ethiopia as well as the wooden animal carvings, the picture of a typical farmer's home and the bird mobile).
I made the cheetah print wall hangings out of
MDF we had in the garage and fabric. I also sewed the zebra curtains. What was really exciting to me was that it only cost me $29 to finish off the project since all of the supplies I bought were on clearance.
You can see the girls love their room so much they don't want to take the nap they are suppose to be taking. Maybe if I got out of the room they'd go to sleep.
