Progress


As such things go, we began the process of converting our guest room into a nursery.  Once the books were downstairs, the bed needed to go. The frame and mattress both went to different friends and yesterday M. started to assemble some of the furniture we got.  We decided to go with an Ikea Kallax unit to use as a changing table, so that has three sets of legs to raise it to a better height for changing.  The color scheme for the room is yellow, aqua, and white, with a sea life theme. 

On top of the Kallax unit are the drawers for our new bathroom vanity.  We decided, after getting extremely high quotes to redo the bathroom in it's entirety, that since the bathroom is in mostly good shape and we really just want a new vanity, to put in a new vanity.  First we have to have a plumber come in and insulate the pipes properly, and then we will need to install the vanity.  (I'm using the term "we" lightly, I think my responsibilities will include keeping M. company.)
So the big to-do list between now and October includes the following:

Nursery:
  • Assemble crib (one it comes in)
  • Make mobile
  • Paint dresser
  • Hang artwork
  • Purchase glider
  • Check windows/walls for lead paint
  • Hang Elfa
Bathroom
  • Clear out storage cubes
  • Call plumber, have them repair pipes
  • Install new vanity and sink
Office
  • Install new Elfa desk
  • Get rid of old desk
  • Move old Elfa out
  • Purge and organize crafting supplies
Misc.
  • Radon inspection
  • Make room for upright freezer in the basement
  • Clear out shelving between closets
  • Bolt everything to the walls
That's all that's on the list that I can think of for now, but things are starting to get awfully cute around here:
