These last few days I have been so busy working on your room. I can only do so much at a time because (1) I have to let paint dry and (2) my body (with you growing in it) can't handle as much physical labor as it used to be able to do.
Last night I finally finished painting your woodwork. As I said before - your room is the first room where we have transformed the woodwork from stained to painted white. It was a long and hard process but I love the final look.
After painting I started washing the floors. Because we had to paint your ceilings - paint splatters were on the floor so the only way to wash it was by hand with a hot sponge and scour the areas where the splatters were. So that is what I did (well, I'm almost done - I have to finish today or tomorrow). First I scoured the floor with the hot water, then I used the wet swiffer to get all the little dots up and give the floor a quick cleaning. Once that dried I used our regular wood floor cleaner to finish it all off. I got two large sections of the room done. All that is left is the closet and the area where your crib will go.
Because so much progress was made we moved somethings back into your room in order to give us more room in other places of the house. The queen sized frame and box-springs went back into your room (the mattress will likely go in this weekend once I purchase things for the legs of the frame and finish a few touch-ups on the blue wall that I have yet to do) as did your changing table. Your changing table has had a few homes in our house since we brought it home from the store but it finally came to rest where it was always intended to be - your room.
Because I couldn't resisit (and they have been sitting in the back of my truck for a week) I got out some of the baskets we bought for the table and filled them with the diapers from Auntie Lindsay's diaper cake. It was so sad to take the cake apart but we will need the diapers and there is no where for me to keep it set up until you arrive. Then I got out the changing pad and its cover and we connected that as well. There are still two larger baskets for the bottom shelf and I need to figure out if I am going to get an organizer for the top but right now I think it looks pretty good (stil not sure I am keeping the changing pad cover in that color - I will have to wait till everything is put together to make that decision).
Here's a sneak peak!
That's all the sneak peaks you get - I'm not going to post pictures again until the room is 100% done!
