Over the past week we've sort of shuffled furniture around, thanks a lot in part to Steve's brother who helped with the heavy lifting last weekend. Now our computer desk is smack on top of our t.v. and treadmill. God help us if we have any more kids in this house!
So, we were able to start the project. Let's look back at the mess from where we started (posting this picture secretly gives me a sense of accomplishment :))...
Steve would not allow me to paint (because of the fumes), and I was really kind of bummed about that because I really enjoy painting, but I respect his viewpoint, as I don't want to expose Brett to that. So, I helped with all the prep (taping, drop clothes).. and snapped some "action" shots of Steve as Ty Pennington...
Check out that painting technique...
Can't you see why I love this man...
Well, that's where we had to stop on Saturday, because The Packers conveniently decided to cut our plans short by playing a game of football (sigh).
So, this morning we touched up and put up the border... this I could definitely help with. And, I have learned how much of a pain in the a** it is to put up wallpaper border. Somehow we managed to get through this while still on good speaking terms...
I about lost it when I realized that we were like 12 inches short on our border. Seriously! And, I had ordered this online, so it's not like we could run out and get some more (plus I really didn't want to spend $20-$30 extra for a whole new roll). So, we worked out a green accent wall.
In the end, it turned out really well.....
We still have to assemble the crib and register for stuff... but we have the hardest part of getting the nursery together done (and done in time so that The Colts could appear on our television for Steve... I could rant and rant about how football ruins my weekend every week, but I'll save that for another time). Note: this picture was taken before we loaded the leopard print chez lounge back in the room. I still can't get rid of this thing, and I don't have a pickup truck to take it away...does anyone want this thing? I would love to hang on to it if we had room because it is so comfortable, but our house is already bursting at the seams (sigh).

It looks SO cute!!
Football doesn't ruin your weekend. It makes the weekends so much better. Just jump on the bandwagon, learn how the game is played and embrace Sundays in the fall....think of it as bonding time between you and Steve :-)
The nursery looks great. Is that a pale green color on the walls, or pale blue? I can't tell.
It's a pale/sage green
