Baby room - getting there!

The baby room is functional now... All major furniture purchased. Pictures on the wall. Now we just need the baby, and probably some diapers.

Here's the view from the hallway door.


Here's the glider we picked up off craigslist today. I'm still scoping for one that's "exactly what I'm looking for", but they are hard to come by. I've only seen a couple in the past 2 months and both were gone before I could get to them. This one looks good enough though.

These are some of August's baby clothes - too cute to hang in the closet.

And a close up of my bumper. Turned out pretty well!

0 to 60 in... a couple of days

Here's the "zero" - from before we moved in. Don't worry, those drapes left with the previous owner.


And here's the work of just 2 days. Ceiling retextured. Carpet out. Walls and trim painted. Ceiling fan installed. New sheets. Now all we need is maybe some curtains, and a couple of matching night stands.


I feel so grown up now!! A good thing, since we are expecting to become parents in the next few weeks! See next post!

Baby Room!!

One thing we did a few weeks ago: paint the baby room! My parents were here in April and were kind enough to basically knock this entire project out for us. At that time, we didn't know the gender, so we went with a nice taupe/gray color.. neutral... This is a-okay with me because I'm not thrilled with pink or blue or with the idea of repainting it for when we sell. So, gray it is.. Don't get too upset though, I promise to use a bunch of stimulating colors in the accessories. Well, I also want black furniture.. but aside from that.. :) Jail-cell chic?
