New Nursery for the Baby

I moved my office to our spare bedroom so that we could use it for the baby’s nursery. It took me almost an entire day to move all the furniture and electronic gizmos that I have. It’s scary how much care I put into setting up all my equipment very orderly and neatly only to see the rat’s nest of wires that it’s turned into over the last 2 years.

Jackie decided she wanted to go with a light cream color for the upper 2/3 of the walls, textured wallpaper painted pink for the lower 1/3 of the walls, and a chair rail separating the two. While that sounds complicated, there was one great thing that came out of it. Daddy gets a new saw!!!

We went to Lowe’s and picked up all the stuff – including a new 10 inch miter saw for me – and we’re currently hard at work getting the room ready. Here are some photos of our progress as of this morning.

Update – 6/4/2008

We’re now done with the nursery. I’ve added the new pics below. I think it turned out pretty darn good if I do say so myself.
