Our Baby's Nursery

It wasn't a quick process by any stretch. But, we're having a baby and the baby needs a place to sleep and grow. So we needed a baby room. A nursery. Originally, we thought we would use the spare bedroom since we have three bedrooms in our house and the other two were already our bedroom and my office. However, after being woken up by our white trash neighbors one too many times at 3AM we decided that putting the baby in the room right next to their house was not a good idea.

The decision was made to move my office into the spare bedroom and convert my office into the nursery. That meant that I got to paint my new office, move all of the furniture and electronics from one room to the other, and then build and arrange all of the new furniture in the nursery.

The old office...ready to become the nursery

It took a few weeks to get everything done, but it is finally complete! I've been enjoying my new office, especially some of the choice conversations held from time-to-time over at the neighbor's residence and the nursery looks great! We still need to add pictures, new curtains, and accessories like that, but I think it will work out perfectly for us and our new son.

The finished product

I've posted a slideshow below so you can view the progress as the work was being completed. Click on the individual photo or the link to "View Album" if you want to go to our Picasa Web Album and see some larger photos.
