FINALLY!

Well, we finally got Zachary's bed delivered yesterday. So here are the promised pictures. The room is not finished I still need to add the final touches, but at least Zachary is not sleeping on the floor anymore. I also had to include a close up of the baseboards since those dang things were a big headache for me. I have never installed such large (5 inch wide) baseboards and after 2 trips to home depot and the purchase of a new 12 inch power miter saw I finally got them installed. I think they were worth it though. I really love them and now I am planning to put them in the master bedroom. I found the cutest acrylic candy jars at Pottery Barn kids and I am going to get a bunch of them and fill them with Zachary's legos and I still need to get the bulletin board for his wall and the bean bag chairs which are way more expensive than I thought they would be.

Painting, painting and more painting.

I spent the day painting Zachary's room and it has left me sort of melancholy. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was painting blue clouds on the walls and putting white wainscotting on the bottom with the Classic Winnie the Pooh border. When he was 5 we took down the Pooh border and painted the top half of the wall a navy blue and he had Harry Potter stuff. Now the wainscotting is gone and we will be painting the walls a dark tan color. He is also getting a new bed since he has outgrown his loft bed with the slide and fort underneath. How did this happen he was just my cranky, never sleeping baby yesterday. I guess what really got me sad is that I realized this is probably the last time I will be doing his room before he goes off to college. I intentionally designed the room to last through the teen years with the neutral walls and his bed is black with a trundle underneath and built in drawers. He is going to have a couple of beans bags for hanging out with friends and a bulletin board and bookcase. It's just so grown up. Hopefully that excitement I get with decorating will come back soon because so far this one is just a downer. I will post a picture when the room is done.
