As requested, by Amanda, the final nursery photos are now online. The nursery is complete except for the soft fluffy chair that will go next to the crib. We already ordered it and it should arrive in three weeks. The chair is a white antique wood with big green pillows that perfectly match the green in the crib. So without further delay,... the photos:


Here Jen tapes the wall in preparation for the painting (but dont let the photo fool you, Matt spent plenty of time in there).


The crib with bedding and the painted wall. I think we'll get a chocolate brown bed sheet to go over the currently white mattress.


Here is a close up of one corner. Note the sharp tight brown paint. Yup, that is my work. I'm very proud. I cant believe how clean the lines are. The secret is to tape off the area you want to paint, paint a base coat that is the same as the color underneath (to seal off the tape), and then paint with the color you want to see.

And finally, here is the bookshelf turned storage unit and the former desk turned changing table. We'll put a cloth over the plastic table that matches the room, and an elevated changing pad so I dont have to hunch over too far.
