It only took seven hours, but we finished painting the boys' room this weekend.
It's a big deal! We had to sand the built-in beds, prime them, paint them, cut-in the ceiling, paint inside the closet and paint the baseboards. Oh, and finish the door, door frame and jamb.
We maximized our time by being ready to work the second we put Koko down for his nap. From the time you close his door until the time he wakes, you have 3-3.5 hours (most days). Ready, set, paint.
So it's done, but I am frustrated because we still have a crib and changing table in the furniture mix.
They take up so much space. I told hubby we will have to move them out and put the new dresser in place, temporarily, for our official photo shoot. He is really excited about this task.
At least we're to the fun part- accessories and decorating.
You know, when you have hubby hold the picture on the wall and you stand back and decide if it is in the perfect spot. Or when you stand in the home store for at least an hour looking at drawer pulls and knobs.
Or when you move this over there and that over here, but it still isn't right. This will be my week,

and I am excited about it!
The official after photos are coming soon. In the meantime, here's a look at our weekend work-
