Buttons

Christine had a great idea to make awesome, colorful drapes without spending the top dollar that you would expect to pay at the Pottery Barns of the world. We simply bought some white panel drapes at Ikea that cost $40 for all four drapes and sewed colorful buttons onto them for a splash of color. This was a great way to save some money and also get the impact we wanted to achieve. It was time consuming but worth if for our girl.

  She's very precise.

  
I even got in to the action.

Button selection is tedious.

The drapes look great! Especially with the awesome "Baby Boo" banner Jana made for us. Thanks Jana! I know Baby Boo will love it.

Things are starting to come together. The crib that Baby Boo's grandma got her is finally put together and looking great. We're getting close now. And good thing, only 5 weeks till the big event!
