We finally finished the baby room. Yay! Except it's not really done cause we don't have all the baby stuff we need in there yet, but it's cleaned and we rearranged everything to make room for all the stuff once we get it. It was quite a lengthy and time consuming process.

It took forever to get all the paper down and then we washed all the glue off the walls. There were about 3000 holes in the wall from nails and pins and stuff so Ryan had to spackle everything and then sand it. We followed the directions and wore masks. We looked awesome.

Once the paint was all dry we assembled the crib.
It was a lot of work but it was worth it because soon we'll have a little baby to put in here. I can't wait.
The room had wallpaper on one wall so our first task was to take all that down. I forgot to take a before picture of the entire room, but here's one of Ryan getting ready to take down the gross paper.

I wore one while painting too so the baby wouldn't get high off the fumes.
Then about a week later we finally found time to finish the room. Here is one side of the room. This is where our guest bed is. Now when you come to visit us, you can wake up with the baby in the middle of the night. And we cleaned off the desk so I can use it to scrapbook and sew.
And here is the other side with the crib that you've already seen. We're going to try and fit a rocking chair of some sort over here and probably a shelf for baby clothes and stuff.

The baby room looks so clean and fresh. I volunteer to come visit and sleep with the baby. I will wake up in the middle of the night and play with him all day as well. It will totally be worth it to have a cute little grandbaby!
