Nursery progress

We've come a long way... see?

We have paint!



And closet!



Still to go:
  • install closet doors (they're waiting on the dining room floor)
  • install window trim, baseboards, shoe moulding, and crown moulding
  • paint ALL trim and doors
  • install ceiling fan
  • buy furniture, assemble if necessary
  • accessorize
  • drop dead (and broke!)
BTW, the paint is NOT pink, it is Sherwin-Williams' "sashay sand." It fits the color scheme of the rest of our house. We really wanted to make a nice room that wasnt overly-baby-fied. We plan to sell this house in the fairly-near future and wanted to make sure that we chose colors that were sort of universally appealing and made the rooms look most attractive. The bedding we chose for the room will baby-fy it enough. I had to crack up, though, when Spouse said, "Um, I know that I said I wanted this color... but isnt it, well, PINK?" I reassured him that it is not, that it REALLY is "sand." Yesterday, I told him that I'd finally decided on a crib and that I would order the honey colored wood rather than white because I thought it would match better and seem slightly less feminine. He agreed, "Especially given that he has PINK WALLS!!" He laughed when he said it, so I know that he's not overly concerned (of course he isnt).... I offered to paint it green if he really felt weird about having a "pink" room for a boy and he thought I was ridiculous. Good thing, since I was KIDDING. I'd NEVER repaint that frickin' room!
