Thanks so much to everyone who has posted comments and their congratulations!! After a friend and fellow houseblogger left one particular comment, I realized that I was unclear about something: the nursery is not currently the master bedroom, it was the master bedroom before we bought the house. The former owners used it as their master, and it's quite large (held two twin beds plus other furniture). When we bought the house we renovated two other bedrooms and a bathroom in the newer part of the house to make the new master suite. We're not giving that up for the babies! I have to draw the line somewhere! LOL
Between the time of my last post and today, we have actually decided to make a few extra changes in the nursery, so as requested here are some "Before" photos. We're actually removing one closet that was clearly an afterthought-addition by the previous owners, and that will improve the flow in the room significantly, as well as alleviating one door/door frame from the lead paint equation. We are also going to replace several board and batten doors with new doors, again largely due to the lead paint concerns (as nearly all the doors in the entire room tested positive for lead!). We're keeping the main door to the room as its original board & batten door, but as I write this, Brian is up there stripping the paint off with trusty Peel Away 7.
So, without further ado, here are some quick shots of the babies' room. These pics make the room look sort of dark and gloomy, but it's definitely not. In fact, it has gorgeous light since the exposures are due south and east. I just take bad pictures, apparently! 
Missing floorboards due to radiator removal 2 years ago...to the far left in this photo, you can see the little closet we're removing:
This bedroom also has an en suite bathroom, which will make life a lot easier when the twins arrive. No good pics of it at the moment, as it's only about 95% complete, but will post pics when it's done. The bathroom mirror actually just arrived yesterday, which isa relief since there was only about 18" of space in which to fit a mirror and we weren't sure we could find one that would fit properly.
