Quick Baby Update

Last weekend, Pharmie and I set up the baby room! It was two years ago that we did some major work on that room. Here are 2 pairs of "before and after" photos from that project:

Before: nasty shelves and beat-up floor.


After: shelves down, holes patched, sexy refinished floor.


Before: fixture on wall was broken (but had power).


After: new fixture.

Well, 2 months ago (or so), we started fixing up the OTHER guest room. We wanted to get that out of the way for 2 reasons. Reason #1: It'll be harder to do with a baby around. Reason #2: We want to have a nice room for our Moms, siblings, random internet acquaintances, etc to be able to use when they want to come watch our child for long periods at a time.

This was the first photo we took of that process. It's a photo of me adding texture (to try to match what was there) to all of the cracks I patched in the ceiling:

Patched cracks, texture added.


Patched cracks, texture added.


All done.


All done.


All done.

So, Saturday morning, the recently remodeled guest room looked JUST like that (completely empty), and the baby's room still had the bunk bed in it, along with EVERYTHING from the other guest room. AND it was full of the baby stuff we had already bought. What a mess. Baby's room looked like:

After just a few hours of work, the newly fixed-up guest room had it's "regular" bed back in it, along with the bunk bed. Our guest room now looks like a youth hostel. (These 3 photos are from the same spots as the last 3 of the empty, fixed-up room.)

And baby's room looked like this:

A long, low dresser will double as a changing table to the right.


A rocking chair will go in front of that window.

So, that's what we've been up to! ;)
