The nursery has come a long way , but it's finally ready for a baby. There are a few minor things left to do (let me know if you see a small white wood table lamp base anywhere), but it's close enough to done that we'd be good to go if the baby decides to show up early. Color in first pic looks slightly closer to real color than the other two, on my monitor anyway.

Some furniture just doesn't work in the new old house, so we've craiglisted some items. Our fabulous previous bedroom set, Bill-made, just sold to an NC State student whom I'd like to think will take great care of it and keep it forever and ever. He didn't have room for the matching armoire, however. We have that plus our former dining room shelving unit on craigslist. If anyone's interested in these, let us know!

Still needs a stone top, but the rest of this cabinet is done. Love it!

Bill rocks. I last posted about our closet in May ( here ), before we diverted all attention to getting walls and ceilings up in the other areas. Now that those are ready for decorating, Bill's back to the closet to turn it from a room into a functional closet. Immediately inside the door, there are shoe shelves along the bottom and larger shelves along the top. The very top shelf goes all around the room, with tons more shelves on the back wall and a place for laundry baskets underneath. On the long wall, the first hanging area will have double rods, the one towards the back just a single rod. Can't wait until Bill gets this all painted and finished off (no more painting for me!) and we can move all our clothes in. Our bed and dresser will be delivered tomorrow and Saturday, so once this closet is done, our bedroom will be fully livable.
