Here are a few shots - though I took them at night with the flash so some of the color is off.
This is the crib all sheeted and bumpered and what not. While I enjoy our crib, standard attachments don't exactly fit it well. Notice the semi-janky mobile.
This is a shot of the new window valence and 'heavy-duty-light-blocking shade'. Since the sun rises on that side of the house, we wanted to make sure that the baby could sleep as much as possible. The large empty space in the corner will be filled by a glider (hopefully).
And this would be the other side of the room. We're a little bummed that the changing table doesn't match the dresser as well as we'd hoped. But it was about $75cheaper than the poorly reviewed one that came with the set, so it's not all bad. We do have wall decorations, including some shelves to flank the windows, but those are still in the painting stage.
Speaking of shelves, this is the additional shelf we installed in the laundry room to hold all the things we displaced when we clean out P's closet. I'm pretty impressed that we actually got it in level.
And here's the big project - our new wood laminant floors! This is a shot of our living room. We were going to wait to get a rug, but we found this one on sale at the Lowes on one of our many trips there for extra 'fill in the blank' (trim, sealant, whatever).
This is the opposite view of the living room. The wood continues around to the front door, and if you look closely near the glowing eyes of Kitty Maxx, you'll see that we kept the carpet in the study. There was no way we were moving the world's largest book case.
And this is a final shot of the kitchen. All in all, I think it looks really nice. And at least now you know we weren't just sitting around picking our noses. Ewww. We were actually doing stuff!

Floors look FAB-U-LOUS! As for the mismatched changing table, it doesn't look that bad, and you've done a great job for keeping the room gender neutral, it's so pretty and peaceful....makes me want to sleep too!
WOW! I think it looks absolutely awesome. I'm super jealous of the floor. Do you think Suellen's dad could teach Adam how to put down flooring? My mom's great at tiling, but she's never attempted putting down any other floor material. Also, I honestly can't tell from the picture that the changing table doesn't match everything else. Is the wood slightly different in color or do you just not think the "style" is the same? When do you all go to the doctor again? Are you having a giant-headed 40 lb baby too? :)
Thanks! The floor wasn't hard to put down, at least not in most of the room. Suellen's dad had to be creative in the smaller, trickier spaces. I'm sure Adam could do it. And the table does look better in the photo. It matches the style of the crib well, the color's just a tad darker.
We go to the doctor on Friday and hopefully we're on track for a smaller head.
Wow, very impressive! Most people just clean out a closet while nesting, you guys redid the whole house! LOL
I LOVE the frog theme in P's room. We had narrowed it down to that set and the set we ended up with (much more girly) but I still adore that set. Good choice!
