Work in progress

John and I spent a good portion of this last week getting James' new room ready. It is still a work in progress, but I am really pleased with how things are going so far. Most of the work we did (and by "we" I mean John) was to move furniture all over our three level townhouse. The guest bedroom went from the top level to the basement, and James took over the yellow room. Compared to his old room, his new room is palatial! He has plenty of room for his toys and lots of room to run around and be a boy.

Here is my little man reading a book while I put away his laundry.
Here is James' "new" crib. Thank you to Craig's list for this great find! The furniture is just like new and looks great in the room.
The matching dresser is below. I love this new furniture! Also, you can see my decorating work in progress with the wall stickers scotch taped to the wall. Once I actually adhere these to the wall the white outline will go away. I chose airplanes and I think it is going to be really cute once we are all done!
Once James' room is ready I get to move onto Baby #2's room. It is mostly set up, we just need to get a changing table and unpack the numerous boxes of baby clothes. It's a good thing my nesting instinct is kicking in, because we have lots of fun work to do!

Lots of work, but it sounds fun. Especially if you design & then John moves everything. :o) Julia

The room looks great and James looks very happy. I bet John has been exhausted taking items up and down the three levels of the townhouse. I'm glad you still have a place for company!

You guys are rocking and miles ahead of us. But Nana and Papa did come over to help me clean out the green room so you can actually step foot inside. Now for furniture. Thanks again for the clothes you are the best!
