New Baby Room

As the new baby room gets closer and closer to being finished I feel a sense of relief come over me. There is still work to be done, but the bulk of the painting is finished. Painting the paneling turned out not to be as big of a deal as I expected it to be. It did need two coats of primer and getting into the crevices was a pain but well worth the trouble. The room already looks so much bigger and brighter than it did in the beginning. I've decided to post the before photos here before the final project is finished. We decided to keep all the dark wood trim as it was in really good condition and thought it would look really nice with the paint.

 This first photo is of the entry way to the room. The carpet has already been covered with a blue tarp so it doesn't show the blue carpeting that the room has. 

 This photo shows the inside of the room with the closet. 

This last photo is a closer look inside the room.

**More in progress photos to come **

 Ok, so here are the in-progress photos that I have taken so far of the new baby room/play room. The border between the two colors still needs to be put up as well as other decor items like the curtains. We absolutely love how nice everything turned out especially with our very little painting experience. There are a few issues with the trim in regards to paint pealing off but overall the room looks so much nicer!

I tried to take the same angles from the before shots to show the difference. Here is looking in from the hallway. 

This is a closer look at the two colors. 

 We turned the closet into a usable space for the changing table. It fit in there just perfectly.

Another look at the closet/doorway.

The room still needs a little work but at least we can rest easy if the baby decides to show up sooner than later. 

Questions and more Questions...

Autumn is a talking machine, which I'm used to by now. However, recently the questions about everything started and it's taking me some time to adjust. Not only is it the number of questions its the questions that get repeated over and over and over again. Like for instance, at the moment I am getting asked "Where is my pink necklace?" and if I've counted correctly this is now the 12th time in the last 5 min that I've been asked the same question intermixed with other questions that have also been repeated. It is a quite interesting development as I am forced to explain and analyze even the smallest detail of our day, the parts that are so miniscule that they blend into the background. For instance... why is there a fuzzy in between my toes? why is there dirt on my shoe? why is that car outside beeping? why is it so windy? where did the sun go? why do I have to wear my underwear? What's that sound, mommy, whats that sound, mommy? mommy? mommy? Can you kiss my boo boo again? .... I'm sure this won't be the end of my exploration into the 1000 and 1 questions that are coming at me everyday but I do have to say that I love the communication that I can have with her so in the end it is all worth it.
