One of Norah's Christmas presents was a small table and two chairs from Ikea. It's a pretty basic table and there is nothing fancy about it. It wasn't very expensive and so the tabletop is made out of a heavy cardboard of sorts vs. wood. It's the perfect size for her and does what we need it to and we couldn't beat the price. The two biggest complaints I have about it though are that it's extremely lightweight which allows Norah to pick up the chairs and carry them around and that it is pretty boring.
Here is a picture of it as is (You'll have to ignore the Christmas mess):
I decided I wanted to be a bit less boring and figured some fabric would do the trick. While we were out getting fabric for Wesley's Project 365 we picked up some fabric for her table. The table top slips into groves in the wood and at first I had tried to double up the fabric to make it thicker but that just wasn't doing it so I cut it and it fit perfectly.
Here is the finished product:

Goodness, you mix the holiday season with a toddler and being pregnant and you get a very sidetracked mama! I haven't abandoned the blog I promise, I've just been so busy (Can you say exhausted?!)
I've done a few projects for Wesley's room but honestly not very much. His birth is really sneaking up on me and I feel so unprepared!
One of the small projects I have done though is Pinterest inspired (of course). I've seen this idea floating around there. Basically you nail a shape/letter/design into a piece of wood and then use yard or twine to fill in the gaps. This was a super cheap project! We bought a board at Home Depot for $2.50 and had them cut it into 3 pieces for us (I used one of the other pieces for a project for him as well). The paint is actually left over from painting our living room (Gray is a common color between his room and our living room) so that didn't cost anything extra. I did buy yarn but it didn't take very much yarn at all.
Anyways, here is how it turned out:
