where Preston plays.

I would say where Preston sleeps but you know that sleeping is a sensitive subject around here. I haven't talked about it much on here because he mostly sleeps in our room at night and only naps in his room during the day.  Don't judge.  In January I waved my white flag and decided that Preston could sleep where Preston wanted to sleep because I needed to start sleeping again.  It was a brutal 12 months before my surrender.

 We've already converted Preston's bed to a toddler bed.  We thought he felt caged in and perhaps like he was in jail in his crib, and we felt that's why he would cry and scream when we put him in there. So we took off one side (we're still waiting on the back-ordered converter piece to come in from the company), and guess what ... we were right.  He loves his crib now.  He naps in there during the day (we put a pool noodle on the edge under the fitted sheet to prevent him from rolling out ... thanks pinterest... until the converter comes in).  When he wakes up from his nap he gets up on his own and comes to find us or Rosa.

no, the frames aren't crooked ...

Paint color is Martin Senour's Linen Weave.  I love how soft and soothing this color is.  Getting ready to paint my master this color also.

I keep his prayer quilts that friends and volunteers made him during and after his open heart surgery on his crib (you can see them draped over the side above).  I cherish those things.  Lots of memories, lots of prayers, lots of thanksgivings are wrapped up in those quilts.

 

my DIY/ Pinot's Palette paintings that I painted with this lovely lady are still hanging in his room

knobs from Anthropologie, chair from Pier One

and the one closet in my house that I'm not ashamed to show you guys.

Linking up again with Kelly's Korner's SUYL series.  Love this link up as it motivated me to get my act together and take recent photos of our little humble abode.
