Clearly Nesting

Welp, here's a post for the second day in a row, and hopefully there'll be a weekly update tomorrow morning which is some kind of record. 

Clearly, I'm nesting. Today we bought a gallon of paint, I painted almost all of the trim in the room, and we attempted to plug the holes in the guest nightstand and drill new ones to fit the handles I bought for it like 2+ years ago. I say "attempted" because... We're apparently pretty useless in the handyman DIY realm. We bought the wrong kind of putty, maybe, and then we broke multiple drill bits tryin the make new holes, and the whole thing turned into a much longer and complicated ordeal than we'd banked on. But, it's mostly done and it's definitely not perfect but it's got character. Or something. Here are some photos, I'll add a finished product one when I eventually finish it (I think it just needs a little paint?).

Here are our plugged holes:

Next, I had this brilliant idea to mark where the new holes needed to go with charcoal:

But that didn't work so well. Oh well. Then we broke not one, but two drill bits:

And that's when E went all MacGyver on it. You can see the first handle installed in the background. It's a little crooked but the bottom one is much better and I think I'm the only person who'll ever notice. 

I can't remember if I posted this last night, but we built the crib!! Here is is in progress: 

E was super excited and cute the whole time. :) I was a stress ball and probably incredibly unpleasant. But I maybe made up for it a little by making a bunch of painting progress tonight while E isn't home! I painted all of the trim and edging all around the room. Well, around like 85% of the room because I couldn't move the trundle bed by myself. But whatever, here's the progress shot:

Maybe I'll actually get you some finished product shots soon! For now, I'm pooped.
