Baby's Room!

Over the last two weeks Garrett and I have been slowly working on the baby's room. Well, baby's half of the room (he has the bigger half). We still have one wall that will be the office. Here are a few before and after pictures:

Unfortunately the day we decided to dismantle the room I realized just moments before that we had never taken pictures of the "Man Cave" and I didn't have time to tidy up. However, to be honest, this room was always the last room on the cleaning checklist so it often times did look this bad. Whoops! Oh well. At least the pictures are honest. :-)

This is the wall that is remaining as our home office space.

And now for the transformation.... (this is still a work in progress)








































The canvases over the crib aren't painted yet, but they will eventually be a bright background color (like in the quilt) with a different colored letter on top spelling out the baby's name.








































We still need to add the knobs on the dresser and we need to decide which decorations go on top. Right now we have both the anchor and the boat. Garrett votes on the anchor because we have a boat painting next to it (painted by Kalyn), but I'm slightly partial to the boat because it has more presence. What do you think?

We plan on eventually painting the dresser whimsically with different colors that match his room, but for now we are just going to paint the wooden knobs blue to match the darker blue on his sheets. We were afraid to start sanding, painting, etc because Garrett is pretty busy these days working on his demo reel and thesis and we didn't want to get caught with a baby and no dresser. We definitely need the space that the dresser creates for us! (Thanks Tim and Annette!)
