Nursery Update

Here is the latest on the nursery:

The nursery walls received two coats of paint last week (one on Tuesday and another Friday night):





The dresser, nightstand, and drawers received 3+ coats of polyacrylic (3 on drawers and sides of dresser and nightstand, 5 on top surfaces for extra durability):



Tonight, after walking Bella, we put the rocker back together.



Left to do:
  1. Sand/Paint ceiling (Bob is a lazy painter, who occasionally doesn't pay attention while getting his "roll on"; therefore, various paint colors are present on the ceiling. He plans to remove these "artistic" marks by sanding and repainting the ceiling).
  2. Grandma A. is going to help Gina finish off the cushions for the rocker, and then it shall have reached fruition.
  3. We obtained a footstool for Gina to use while rocking the baby in her recliner. It currently has two coats of stain (matches the dresser and nightstand), so it needs a third and then subsequent polyacrylic treatment. ETC (estimated time of completion) is next weekend.
Gina and I both wanted to see how the nursery was coming together, so we placed the items in their near final locations in the room, and took some pictures. Enjoy!

So ... one question. What will Bob use as an ottoman while he's rocking the baby? Since the footstool is for Gina to use ...

Josh claims, "Babies is women's work," but I bet Bob will rock out a few times.
