Nursery & Basement Update & Our Houseguest

Here are the before pictures of the nursery. Sorry that some of them are so dark. I forgot to take them before I went to work, so I had Jimmy take some before he started painting. The room is a very pale yellow color all around with a very light off whiteish cream trim color.

As of today, it is now all white -- minus the trim and doors that we are going to go and buy paint for today. We are also going to put up some molding and a shelf and the some stripes, hopefully I will have updated pictures to post tomorrow before I go to Florida. :) It is coming along and I can't wait for it to be finished! Then we will have a place to put the new chair that my parents bought us for the room and the baby stuff that we will hopefully bet getting soon!



Now on to the basement. Our contractor was here for 3 days this week. Well he did drop off all of the materials on Monday, but then had to go home and take care of his sick girlfriend. So he worked Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday...and got A LOT done!! He will be back Monday for 5 days, and then it should be done!! Well minus what Jimmy and I are going to do, which is molding, installing a wet bar, installing the toilet and sink in the bathroom and painting...then we'll get someone to put in carpet. So soon enough it will be finished!! I can't wait! Everything is finally coming together!

This is going to be the bathroom, with a tub on the left side and the sink and toilet on the right side, the bigger opening is where the door is going to be.

This opening is going to be the door into the laundry/storage area.

This is part of the large part of the room, Jimmy has a big flat panel TV picked out to go on the wall back in the corner behind the ugly couch...that we need to take to the dump!

This is the other side of the big part of the room, where we are planning on putting a large sectional couch :)

These two openings are going to be closets under the stairs. There will be 2 separate doors one on the right and one on the left, the one on the right is going to be a hanging closet that is finished, and the one on the right is going to be an unfinished closet that goes all the way back and under the stairs.

And this is our house guest for the day today. He is my best friend Megs dog Ruff. He is a handful. Three years old, 145lbs of love and fun. :) Tucker and Chloe love playing with him...Mack on the other hand can't wait for him to go home :) Meg had to work today and the landlord and some people are coming in to do work on where she lives, so she couldn't leave him at home, so he came and spend the night at our house last night and is here until about 4 today when she gets off of work.

I love dogs and he is a great love. However, keep in mind we live in a townhouse, already have 3 large dogs...and now we have about 400 lbs of dog running around and playing. And with the basement and nursery being worked on, the rest of our house is full of stuff that was moved from one room or the other, until it can go back into its proper place...so there really isn't room for our 3 dogs, let alone a new beast. But we are having fun!!


Off to go and buy more paint since the dogs are finally done playing and are in the napping stage of the morning. Then more work on the nursery!! Have a great weekend everyone. I will be back tomorrow before I leave for Florida...with a long awaited and demanded Belly Pic!! :)

Until then...

Adios :)
