Starting to feel the need to nest

37 and 1/2 weeks along now and I'm ready to organize this house from head to toe. Not just organize, but get renovations finished and things looking pretty:) We're in the middle of our kitchen renovation right now and the house is a total wreck. Tomorrow they are putting in the countertops and doing the backsplash. We picked out a faucet, sink and hardware, so now we just need to pick out lighting.

Kitchen lighting: I love this one. 

I searched for a while to figure out what kind of fixture it's called. 

Evidently it's called a schoolhouse ceiling light.

 

Here's the light I found that I love. The price is a little steep at $80...

  

After more research I found this one. Only $25 at Lowes. It will probably 

work better anyway since the ceiling in our kitchen is a bit low.

After the kitchen is complete I will feel much better and not as frantic about the house being "incomplete" before the baby arrives. Tomorrow we're going to clean from top to bottom, organize all other areas of the house and hang more pictures. That will help make the house to feel more like our home. Here are some other ideas that have been floating around in my head lately:

Framed fabric. I think this would look great in the living room.

Definitely not this color, but I do enjoy the design.

I've realized our coffee table weighs a lot and takes up too much space. 

We're going to trade it out for something more functional like this.

The only problem is I want to have something more colorful. So hopefully my 

oh-so-creative MIL will help me make slipcovers:

 We'll see how much we get done in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully we can get a good head start this weekend! Wish us luck:)
