Nursey and Name

Last night Bob and I decided that we needed to choose a name for our little guy because Bob started calling him Carlos from the movie Hangover and I really didn't like it.  Since we both love the names Paxton and Maddox  we wrote both names on a piece of paper, crumpled them up and put them in a hat and Bob drew Paxton.  So Paxton Welch is his name.  I especially have fallen in  love with the name Paxton because it means "peace".  We are unsure about about a middle name.  One thing at a time, right?  I love having a name to call him!
Last weekend, after MANY weeks searching on Craigslist, I finally found a mid-century, clean lined, solid wood dresser for cheap that we could refinish and make into a changing table.  Our crib is two toned, dark and white wood, so the dresser will be the same.  I posted some pictures below of the dresser.  It needs some serious TLC!

The dresser/changing table.  It needs pulls, and refinishing.


The dresser after Bob sanded the front of the drawers today.  The top will be white and the rest will be a dark stain.  I hope it turns out!  I may be crazy, but I would love for Paxton to have this dresser for a long time!

  1. You are having a "Young House Love" moment with your dresser! LOVE it! I know we both talk about how we love that site. I picked up Morgan's big girl dresser on cheap at a garage sale and we redid it. I need to post before and after pictures on my blog. Hopefully I will have time this weekend. Can't wait to see your dresser finished. I am sure it will look awesome!! Are you going to put some cool liners in the drawer like they did at YHL?
    The baby name is so cute! You are ahead of us in that dept. Hopefully baby bean will get a name before she arrives! Glad you are doing well!!! :)
