Dexter's Nursery

It's finally finished! I finished the painting late Friday night, October 3. I put the furniture back between contractions in the wee hours of the morning, and Dexter was born at 12:03 PM on Saturday, October 4.

It's taken the rest of this time (almost 3 weeks) just to put the finishing touches on, like putting the rug down, arranging things on the bookshelves, and putting sheets on the crib.

Here it is, in all of its glory. I do love it, but I'm not sure I'd do the same thing again. It took about a month to do all of that painting. I think the next kid is getting peel & stick decals.

I just have to say the room looks great! Dexter's got some cool new digs!

That looks so great!

But it took me a good 90 seconds of wondering why you painted "south wall" and "northwest corner" on the walls until I figured out what I was really looking at. Oh my.

You did an excellent job! For a second I thought you painted "south wall" etc. on the actual walls. Then I realized you just labeled them.
