All done! (For now)

This past weekend Katy and I finally finished the nursery! We got the crib all repainted after the staining fiasco, white-trash wired a light to the ceiling by splicing an extension cord, changed all the outlets, added a dimmer switch, painted the hamper the same color as the crib, added some decorative clouds to the blue room, re-organized the closet with a few baskets, and a few other minor additions. All that's left is a couple of things for the walls and an area rug we've yet to find. Not too bad for our first redecorating project!

Blue Room

After much thought and pondering we finally made a decision about what the baby's room should look like. So like any American does when he or she starts a project, we drove to The Home Depot and got blue #540 and some primer. Rob then tells me that instead of sanding and restaining the crib he would just like to buy some paint that would match the changing table. So, for the second time we got in the car and drove to The Home Depot where we were able to match the color of the changing table. After wandering the isles until the store was about to close, Rob was happy and we were able to make our purchases and come home. 8 hours of hard labor later, our son has a blue room and the crib is well on its way to looking like it belongs in the room. Here are some pictures of the painting process, obviously completion of the nursery will be posted as well:
