We started working on the nursery after the Christmas stuff came down early January. For a true before-and-after, I should have taken a picture of the office before we started emptying the room, ripping down old wallpaper and taking down old window treatments, but I didn't think about it.
Two 6-ft. bookshelves jam-packed with books, frames and other miscellaneous stuff had to be packed up, a desk full of crap, tv, computer, hanging files and futon all had to come out of this little room. That all took a while. Then, the walls (in this old house) had to be textured, sanded, primed and painted. While I wanted to get this done quickly, my energy level did not have the same enthusiasm. I think we were finally finished with painting at the beginning of March!
There's still decorative things to do - stuff on the walls, new window treatments, a lamp, etc. - but I love it and I think it's going to be darling when (and IF) we ever finish!
