The Baby's Room

Since we’re turning our current guest room into the baby’s room we’ve been contemplating what to do with our future guests…

Option 1: Murphy bed ($$$)
Option 2: Daybed (space sucking)
Option 3: Bed in the closet (current frontrunner)

The room has two closets, one of which is just big enough for two twin mattresses. We’d keep 2 popup trundles in the ‘barn’. We could then use one bed for a single guest or both beds to make a king size bed. With guests in the house, baby boy will simply sleep in the pack n play upstairs near us, which is the plan for the first few months anyhow. And we can use the other closet for all the baby goodies.

My curtains arrived and have turned into quite the family project…

Me: Bought the curtains
Nonna and Me: Found the perfect fabric to enhance the curtains
Nonna (under my supervison): Started sewing the curtains
Chris: Building a wooden valance
Nonna: Returning to VA to complete the curtains
Me (under Nonna's supervision): Bat and cover the valance


We are leaving the room the same color (khaki-ish), but we’re painting the beat’en up walls inside the 2 closets blue. The shelves have been removed (damn, I didn’t take a picture), the hundreds of imperfections have been filled and sanded, and Chris’s weekend project is to paint. Who knew closets would be so exciting?

Other baby things underway…
-I’m looking for a quote to use on the walls
-I’m contemplating art work ideas
-I’ll be making a lumbar pillow cover to place in the glider
-We (Nonna and I) will be adding fabric to the crib skirt
