Handy Dougy.....home improvements

Anyone ever seen the Disney Show "Handy Manny?" Well that is what we have had in our house this past week. Our own handyman Doug. He is just so wonderful. First of all he puts up with me and my crabiness, cleans, cooks, and does all the home improvements I ask. He really is one of a kind.
This week he built some shelves in the girls closet. These go back really deep on the sides for lots of storage. Now we just have to buy some bins and the dresser can be used for the boys!



Next the boys bedding came in....
And I love it! And I love the price too....$50 each and they shipped it to my Walmart. I love the colors and patterns...fun!



Once the bedding came Doug decided to paint the boys room. I told him I thought diamonds and a stripe would be cool and this is what he came up with.



And it only took him a few hours....the lines are super nice too. Just a few touchups and put the crib in there and the boys room is done!


Lastly I ordered this 16x20 of the girls...my favorite picture. I had it mounted on styrene board so it is sturdy, but I needed a frame. So doug builds me one. Out of baseboard....could he get any better?


Just had to share my happiness!
Oh and it was too good to be true. The night after I posted about the girls sleeping so well, they figured out that they could get out. But instead of coming out of the room, they just stay in there and play. All the blankets, toys, dressups where in there beds and they were having a good ol time at 10pm the other night. And then again at 5 am. They mostly play when they are super tired because they have napped. So we just have a nap every other day and put up with the late nights. But they sleep in good in the morning so I can't complain too much.

You both must have a serious case of nesting. That is so great that he could finish all that up. That would take months at our house.

Love it all! The bedding (I might have to copy you...), the paint, the shelves, the frame. I wish I had a "Doug" at my house.

You are really a lucky gal. My honey-do-lists for Lucas include mopping the kitchen. Not that I am complaining, it seems like the little tasks take me forever now. Love the girls pics. You are so talented. Can't wait until this little one is older and you can take new family pics for us.
