Nursery Progress

A few weeks ago, Lucas and I got up the nerve to tackle the wallpaper project. An entire room of 80s (or 70s?) wallpaper was quite overwhelming. I knew for sure we would be working on getting it down for weeks. (That's why we hadn't touched it in the two years we've lived here.) But with a little help from my handy steamer, we got all the paper down in only a few hours. Amazing!! Now, time to start the transformation!

This weekend, Lucas, my dad, and my granddad got to work ripping out the old trim and putting up new facings around the door, closet, and window.

Today, my dad and granddad came back to put up the wainscoting that Lucas has been working hard at priming all weekend long. I can't wait to get home and see how it looks!

While I was out yesterday, I bought the paint for the nursery!! Things are certainly coming together! Can't wait to show you our progress ~ step by step.

Look at your baby bump! So cute! That is going to be a very monumental picture in years to come. I'm so happy for you! It must just be blissful to be doing a nursery. Do you have a theme? Can't wait to see the plans come together.

How fun!!! For some reason, when I was pregnant planning the nursery stressed me out. Glad to see that you're enjoying it!
