We Have Wallpaper!!

After several weeks of paint but no wallpaper in the nursery, we finally finished the wallpaper border today! Yippee!! It was quite a task involving a big bucket of water, a large sponge, a few curse words and only a couple minor arguments. :)

Our nursery is now complete - well, the paint and wallpaper part is complete - there's still a long way to go with furniture, supplies, etc. The next big step will be the furniture. Once we have that, we will add the finishing touches - pictures, shelves, etc.

Here's a picture of the nursery as it is now with the new wallpaper border and the window valance.

And here's a close-up of the border:

It's such a relief to have this piece of the project complete - the nursery is getting there! Our goal is to have the nursery completely ready 1 month before the due date. Here's hoping! Progress will be stalled for a while now that we are saving for the big furniture purchase.

We hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the summer. Have a safe and happy 4th of July!

Tom, Joy and Baby Archibald
