Nursery Before & After

Dear Conor,

The meat and bones of your nursery is finally complete.  We are still waiting on some smaller items to be purchased but the painting and cleaning and organizing is all done.  Therefore I thought it would be a great time to do a Before and After post.

Prior to your room becoming yours it was our home office.  It was the first room that we renovated when we moved in as I would need a place to study and law school was starting in a few weeks.  We selected the moose theme because I thought it was cute and I was excited to be in Maine.  Here is what it looked like when it was our office:

Once I opened my own practice we moved the office to the main floor of the house and moved the guestroom up to the "Moose Room".  I hadn't gotten around to decorating it as a guest room because we were toying with the idea of painting it so it stayed as a Moose room for several months.

Then, we learned that you were coming and we just knew that the renovations we had talked about would be perfect for a baby's room - so I started painting and the work began.  Here is the room now....almost 100% ready for your arrival!

I just love how your room has turned out and I can't wait for those finishing touches to arrive.  Your room is by far my favorite room in the house.  It makes me so happy that we were able to provide you with such a nice space to come home too.  Having such a beautiful room also makes those sleepless nights that I am certain we will share seem not so terrible (of course, I might not say that when I'm running on a few days with no sleep!).

I hope you like your room as much as we do!

xoxo
