You voted, I listened! Nursery Photos here!

FINALLY! We had a chance to sit down and organize all of our new pics, so here goes. The overwhelming response from all three voters (hee hee) was to post pics of the nursery, so that is where I'll start.

First off, here's the "in progress" shot. Brian stripped the windowsills and various other old surfaces, as well as refinishing the floors. He also refinished the original bead and batten door that leads into the nursery, though we ended up replacing other doors in the room. We DID save the old doors and may put them back at some point, but for the time being we're using fresh new lead-free doors.

And here's how it looks now. Only a few details remain, such as window treatments and the finishing touches in the adjoining bathroom. Cute, huh?

The bathroom still needs a few finishing touches (like a toilet seat, LOL) but it's come a long way!

This is what the bathroom looked like when we bought the house.

And finally, as a special treat...here's an image of the two future inhabitants of this space...this image was taken from a 3-D ultrasound. Neat, huh?

What a beautiful change!!! The babies room is the sweetest room ever! One thing I have to recommend for your kids bathroom is the Kohler "Quiet-close" toilet seat. It looks like a regular toilet set except when the kids (or adults) close the seat, it won't slam. I will fall down slowly. Also you can easily take the seat OFF for easy cleaning. I have 3 kids...and I can honestly say that I love their toilet seat!!!

Its looking so good! Look at all that floor space for the babies to play (when they are old enough of course).

Its all very soothing and lovely - great job. Are you planning on hanging anything on the walls?

What a beautiful nursery! And the floors look great! ;) I bet the babies can't wait to see it! I'm amazed at how organized and how fast you got everything done. It's only been about 4 months since you actually KNEW they were coming! Beautiful!
