*note: Juni is short of Junior, which is Amaris's nickname. David calls me Diffy, because my little brother used to call me Merediffy, then David starting calling Amaris 'Diffy Junior'. It quickly turned into Junior, which turned into Juni. Now we never call her Amaris. Oh my.
The furniture is still in the process of being painted, it's on the 'Hunny Do' list. There is this whole lingo you pick up on when your married, I learnt the 'Hunny Do' thing this year.

So far this is as far as I've gotten, little train letters for her dresser.
Before, and after.
I love your book. It will look wonderful as a baby room. I am glad I now know of your blog and will
