Baby Room Coming Along!

The nursery got started yesterday!  It is going to be awesome!  Our goal is to be completely finished by Christmas, and be ready for our little guy!

A little of a back story.  Trent and I bought our first home in December of 2010, and we love our first home!  It is a 3 bedroom 2 bath, and perfect for us.  The only problem is lack of storage, but my husband is pretty creative on storing things!  When trying to decide where to put our little one Trent and I couldn't agree at first.  He wanted to use the smallest room in the house, and I wanted to use the bigger room.  Trent's point was a good one, babies take up less room and when we are ready for baby #2 the nursery would be ready and we can move baby #1 to the bigger room.  So, Trent won this one!  The smallest room was the ONLY room in the house to have wallpaper.  Luckily, it was only an "accent" wall.  The wall paper was SOOO ugly.  I am not sad to see it go!

We had originally planned to start on the nursery the first weekend in November because October was so crazy for both of our families.  Well, my in-laws are awesome at the remodeling we want to do in the nursery. My Father-in-law has had to work for 20 something days in a row without a single day off, and we had to wait for a day off.  This weekend looked like it would be the weekend, but he had to go to work at the last minute, and my Mother-In-Law got sick.  We thought we would have to put it off another weekend, but my awesome Brother-In-Law volunteered to come over.

So, yesterday we got started!

This picture is from when we very first moved in.  The ugly curtains came with the house.

This is with my curtains in the room.

Here is the ugly wall paper!

So, yesterday we started by taking off the old wall paper and the popcorn ceiling.

Getting started!

Bye, Bye Wallpaper!!!!!

Bye, Bye Popcorn!

More of the wallpaper is gone...thank God there was only one wall of this stuff.  It did come off well, but it was very time consuming!

Another ceiling shot!

Yesterday's finished product!!!!

This week we are going to re-texture the whole room.  The wall has an ugly flower texture, and I can't wait to see it go!  We should be painting by next weekend!  Here is the sample of what we will paint the walls when we are finished texturing.  I am so excited, and I love watching it all come together!  The top color is a light tan, but the previous lighting was horrible!
