We're starting to get ready for Baby Sister's arrival. I've been planning the nursery for a while, but it is a multiple-step process. Last week, we started to tackle the first step:
Step 1: Move the office
Before:
We have an unused room in the basement that we're moving the office to. I was originally going to call this an "empty" room, but that would be over-stating things, it was full, just not with anything useful or needed. So, we moved onto Step 1a: Clear out the "pink room"
Yes, we called it the "pink room", and here is the reason for
Step 1b: Paint the new office:
Lovely paint job, no? If you really love it, let me know, we have a matching comforter.
So, while Parker & I were outside all weekend playing/working in the yard, Keith was stuck in the basement painting.
This weekend, Keith's amazingly helpful Parents came up to help Keith move the built-in office down from upstairs to our new office space.
After:
It took Keith & his Dad (and sometimes his Mom) all afternoon and a good portion of the evening to get everything moved & installed, but the final project is amazing.
Keith's folks were a huge lifesaver, there is no way we could have done this on our own. Especially since I couldn't do any of the heavy lifting. As it was, Keith's Mom watched Parker while I painted the baby's dresser and worked on one other project, and by the end of the day I was exhausted and sore all over. Pregnant Mamas aren't all that helpful in the home-improvement arena, sorry!
We've got almost everything put back together downstairs.
Now on to the baby's room...
...oh dear.
