the nursery

and so we begin.  the extremely challenging effort of creating the right (and best) space possible for our baby.  just a few before photos... 

we are transitioning what used to be my office and closet into the baby's room.  dave and i now share an office, which used to be the man room.  we have both lost 'a room of our own' in the process.  

as you see, currently the room is blue.  which i kind of liked for a bit, but with closer inspection it is nasty dirty and has the build-up of several years of use.  it's changing, just not sure to what color yet.  my guess is a much lighter version of blue.  and no we don't know the gender of the baby.

thanks to my Mom, Dave and some sweat... we took out the carpet.  

So, if this were your floor would you:

a. sand and re-stain it

b. paint it bright white and lacquer it

c. put in pergo flooring to match the hallway flooring

d. other : please post answers!

We're beginning to clear the canvas for the ultimate baby room, that does not succumb to the tragic baby-ness of most baby rooms.
