Towler Life

Today marks 6 months for Baby T-  measuring in close to 9 inches tall and weighing over a pound and half now, the size of an eggplant they say!  Since time isn't slowing down, in fact it seems to be doing just the opposite, we are continuing to make headway on the nursery.  We've completed one of two valances using some extra crib skirt fabric.  I showed Dan the inspiration I'd come across on Pinterest and he was of course able to whip something up in no time!

With plywood we had on hand from our old kitchen counters, Dan measured, cut, and screwed three pieces together.  Then we measured fabric to fit-

Pulling tightly, we covered the wood with the fabric using a staple gun.

The sides fit snuggly around the window box and are screwed right into the molding.  Ta-da!

This is one of those easy projects that packs a big punch.  What a transformation it makes to a plain old window.  The lines are so neat and clean and it really adds a nursery feel to the room.  Loving it!

The other valance will be hung above the window seat but we didn't have enough left over kitchen counter wood.  To Home Depot we will go to complete the whole window treatment look- a small price to pay for a fantastic finished product.

We also celebrated Dan's birthday over the weekend with a delicious key lime pie I made with the help of the Pioneer Woman-  the recipe was quick, easy, and out of this world good!  So good that I didn't get a chance to snap a pic before it disappeared.

And even though it's a few weeks late, here is a family photo from our trip to Charleston for a friends wedding 2 weeks ago-  Baby T starting to get in on the action:)
