The Baby's Room (September 2007)

After numerous weekends sorting through the stuff in our "office"/glorified closet and spending lots of time at Goodwill, we finally got the room ready for action. It went like this. Weekend 1: paint the far wall. Weekend 2: put down the carpet. Weekend 3: build the gigantic IKEA storage cabinet ( this spilled into following weekend..arggggh) Weekend 5 or 6: put together crib and changing table!

layin' that first paint line on the far wall....

...and wrapped in up in 4 hours flat!

sooo...these squares just kinda line up like so...

We had to rig the light switch because the cabinet was going to block it. We used home depot paint sticks stacked and glued and painted to make a highly effective light switch extension. Kind of ridiculous, but it works quite well!

Our boy Johnny helped assemble and put in place the ikea cabinet.
HUGE help John! Thanks again!

We mean business...Johnny's wife beater says it all.

Christine's mom pulled the whole thing together and cranked out some fantastic curtains!
