Nursery: Phase I

Paint: Check
Moulding: Check
New Miter Saw: Check
New Nail Guns & Compressor: Check
Inspiration: Check
Time: PLENTY!

All the supplies have been purchased and all the plans have been designed, including some math equations to guarantee our angles. But even though we have those, Dan's travel schedule prohibits us from getting it done in 2 weekends.

That's completely OK though. Our goal was to have the nursery completed before my birthday; giving us 2 whole months before the due date. We are way ahead of schedule! My kind of living!

The one bad thing about waiting is how we hear the paint cans calling to us every evening! We are so anxious to use the new tools and paint!

And I must admit, it was a blast watching Dan shop for the new tools. You could've inserted a comic book bubble above his head filled with Tim Allen's infamous grunt.

Here are the first pictures: the "befores" and Dan working on the chair rail.
A project in progress, for our little man!

  1. Good to see him get so handy! The great news is that you have plenty of time to mess with it...you probably wont really NEED it 100% done till a few weeks after he gets here. But you will probably have more time to finish it now, and it feels GREAT to have it done, so good job! How many weeks till the furniture arrives?

  2. He was having a blast!! If you look at a few of the pictures, he has a huge smile on his face.
    Furniture is here...it's just sitting in the other bedroom for now. :-)
