Nesting

I hear people always say that before having a baby that women begin to "nest"! I guess that is what has been going on around here. For some reason though when I try and post pictures on here, they never come in the order that I want them to and I have the hardest time figuring out how to get them in the right order. So, this is the picture of our guest room finished and ready for my mom to arrive. The before pic is at the end of these pics.
We bought a bookshelf from some friends that were returning to the US and have found a great place for it. Yesterday the boys and I took all their toys that were just heaped into a box and looked like a bunch of junk, and put them nice and neat on this shelf. It is amazing, because now they feel like they have a bunch of new toys and have been playing in there ever since.
We inherited this rocking chair from another family and I have never been too crazy about the pattern, so yesterday when I was cleaning up the guest room for my mom, I decided to make some covers and update it a bit. I think it looks much better, what do you think?
The finished product!
