Baby Room Redesign

After all the talk about what I planned to do in the baby room, and it's all changed again. Some parties related to me were not on board with my neutral palette, and therefore I was convinced to do a color. Much of the house is being reworked to indeed utilize a much more neutral color scheme, since I think it makes the clutter seem less offensive and obvious. It also soothes me more.














I have provided a few pics of what the room looked like prior to our "Easy" renovation of this teeny room.

It has been a long road preparing for getting the baby's room together:
1. I spent five hours clearing all the shelves of boxes, paper, crafts, glue nails, and markers.
2. I spent two hours sifting through old crap and trashing
3. Trent lifted all the boxes to the third floor, where they now happily live in the middle of the room.
4. I spent three hours clearing the closet where the happy boxes are supposed to be moving to get them out of the way. Problem is, I have already had to go into those boxes for assorted holiday trimmings and projects, so this home will be a nightmare for me to get to anything. Alas, we have no choice.
5. Trent spent six hours steaming sawgrass wallpaper off the two walls with paper in there.
6. I spent 30 minutes trash talking while he did the above.
7. My parents came over the course of three days to remove the remaining wallpaper, sand and prep the walls for paint, remove mollies, clean windowsills and gross stuff, and begin painting.
8. Trent and my parents worked most of the day last Sunday painting the ceiling and trim. Lyla and I painted a city on the walls that haven't received real wall paint yet. I spilled all over the floor. Lyla spilled nothing.
9. Trent took piles of bags of old clothes from the third floor to goodwill to make room for the happy boxes that need to go in the closet that is still 1/4 full of junk that I can't clean because of the window air conditioner blocking the way.
10. I prayed to the heavens to give me the patience and strength to deal with the fact that there is never anywhere to put things in our house.

Outstanding Items
1. Prime all walls in nursery.
2. Paint all walls in nursery.
3. Set-up nursery with crib, dresser, and awesome wood angel wings I found at shop in Baltimore.
4. Purchase window treatments, new crib skirt (linen), rug, and fun endings to decor for the nursery.
5. Take air conditioners down to the basement, so I can re-add clear out basement to my 40 before list.
6. Clean out remaining junk in third floor closet.
7. Add happy boxes to closet.
8. Pray again.

I'll post work in progress pics as I remember to take them...
