Re-Decorating

We made a trip up to Calgary on the 13th and hit up Ikea for some new additions to our home.  It's slowly starting to look more like our house and less like it did when Jay's Mom lived here.  And I mean SLOWLY when I say that.  She moved out in the spring of 2003, so just about 7 years ago.  Anyways,  here are the pictures of what we redecorated.

There used to be 2 of these chandeliers hanging in our upstairs hallway.

The chandeliers were replaced by these lights which are so cool because they can be hung in any shape you want.  The metallic strip bends so it could be coiled, wavy or straight! (the chandeliers were at either end of the lights so the mirror is covering the hole from the 2nd chandelier)

This shelf is in our kitchen. I was super excited to find a shelf for the kitchen so we can put some pictures and stuff on it (and so I can put Christmas stuff on it this year!).

This is the top shelf of the kitchen shelf.  It's got Paxton's hand print from when he was 12 days old hanging on some "Alisha and Jeremy" ribbon from our wedding (awwwww).  We're going to put some colored stones in the martini glasses, but haven't found any we like yet.  Looks like another Ikea trip is needed!

And now for Paxton's room.

Kinda Blurry, but the prints are from my Aunt Carol (she's an artist)

Growth chart from my friend, Tricia.  It has spaces to put pictures of Paxton on it as he grows.  He should hopefully be able to start using it next month.

And I just realized I haven't put any pictures of Paxton's room up on my blog before this, so here are a couple more.

The change table used to be where his shelf is.  It's a little cramped right now, but we figured that the change table will be moving out eventually so it should be ok.

The shapes are all decals, so when Paxton gets older and wants to change decor we don't have to repaint!  Or if we have another baby and it's a girl we don't have to repaint!
