Living on the Ledge
As the calendar inches closer to my due date (t-minus 6 days…), I’ve been cutting back on projects around the house. But I undertook one last project in the nursery this week with some help from dear ole Dad. We built these simple picture ledges to hang above the diaper changing station on my old dresser. It really helps fill a void in the room! Plus it adds a neat place to keep books and pretty things. I originally got the idea when I saw some inexpensive ledges just like them at IKEA (Ribba Picture Ledge). But they didn’t have the longer length in white. I briefly thought about spray…

And that’s when I was at IKEA in Atlanta and found this for $10…(insert hearts for eyes emoji here) So from there my search for the perfect curtains to match commenced. I searched high and low, near and far, but could only find one curtain that fit the bill. And it was SOLD OUT! (It was from Target’s Simply Shabby Chic line for those interested.) Since I have minor sewing skills,…
