Room Progress

As Michael so eloquently pointed out, we made significant progress in babybean's bedroom yesterday. We got both the trim and the walls painted, and Mom and I started on the stars and swirls (the paint job was inspired by this high-end baby store treatment). We had some equipment issues (the brushes we bought for the detail work weren't quite right) but the overall effect of the stars, at least, was pretty cool once we got our templates and techniques down. Not bad at all for non-artists.

What's left? Finish the painting, figure out the window fiasco (loooong story!), get the drywall in the closet fixed, have the electrician change the outlets out, put together the crib, and arrange to have the rest of the furniture delivered. Then, put all of the baby stuff -- currently in bags and boxes piled high in the guest room -- into the baby's room where it belongs. Wash the clothes and diapers (the latter 5 or more times!) and put them all into place. All in the next two weeks. Oof. But it will get done!
