Busy day

I just finished painting the boys room azurite by Martha Stewart home depot. It looks awesome and so fresh. I will post photos when I have the furniture in place. I wish I could afford new matching bedding for them and a new bed for Joshua. I got new Shawn white target curtains ($6 ea, got 2) and a lamp ($19) on clearance. The matching twin bedding was sold out. I hesitated a long time before making this purchase. They have some crisp navy/ white striped bedding that would look great in our room and it was so inexpensive but I couldn't justify it.
What I really need to work on right now is styling my shelves, mixing the useful and beautiful in a pleasing, deliberate way.
I am looking for a casual navy blue chain link rug. It would go so great in our living room. I really need to paint the hall and entry too. I have to do all of this slowly and subtly as to not ruffle/alert/alarm my husband. He does not like change or spending money. Hence his fear of decorating! We are just configuring our house into the optimal combination of comfort, beauty, and utility. It's ongoing as our needs and wants change as we grow and change.
Next, pick up Joshua and put the room and house back together.

I feel like I've done my duty as a mother, housewife, and citizen today.
