Nursery Part 1

The past two weekends, we've been working on the baby's nursery. We are repainting our spare bedroom to get ready, and that was the part of the job (aside from cleaning out the closet) that I was looking forward to least. Dan really helped out and did a lot of the tough work. He taped off the room, then we began edging and trimming.

I absolutely hate doing trim, so Dan tackled that while I edged the tan paint around the closet, window, and ceiling.

We then painted. The top of the room is tan, and we chose a navy blue color for the bottom. After the paint dried, Mom and Ron came over to help us hang the border. This isn't a tough job, but it does take several people to help (or at least it does for us). Grandma March lent her assistance as well, since she was in charge of entertaining Emily and keeping her out of the way. Dan and Ron did expert measuring...well, almost. But it was very close!

And here is the progress so far! The walls are done, and now we need to work on putting the furniture together as we get it. Mom and I also did some shopping at Babies R Us and picked up the wall hangings and some other odds and ends. My main job right now is to clean all of my extra clothes out of the closet!
