Jack's Room Complete!

We have finished decorating Jack's room! All the pieces are in place, furniture-wise, and we finished hanging the majority of the decorations. A couple minor pieces are left, but they are in our registry and will not arrive until closer to the due date. But, to see how the room transformed from my "guy's room" to our "little guy's room," see the photos below.


March 21: This is how the room started: messy, crammed with crap, books, dvds, games. Just the way I liked it. Notice the bookcase is empty.





May 21: Not much difference, but notice an entire bookcase is gone and there is more baby stuff piled around the room.






June 3: The crib arrived! Assembled and placed. Ready to go for baby Jack!






June 3 (10 minutes later): Taylor liked the bookcase better over here, so I moved it. Um, now? Ok...Yay, Ready for baby Jack!





June 9: This is Norman. Taylor's company got one of these for each of the employees expecting this year. I wanted to get a rocking horse for Jack, but this is just the coolest one I could imagine.





June 14: Arrival of the dresser/changing table. We did not have to assemble it at all (phew!). We are going to get a changing pad and strap it to the top so only one piece of furniture is necessary. We also removed the vertical blinds and hung curtains. We also found Blackout Curtains, which are designed to make it pitch black in the middle of the day. They also serve as insulation for cold or hot. Almost done with the room!

June 14: Well, all of the furniture is in place, we hung a set of hooks and picture frames and removed all the junk on the floor. The room is raring to go! Now, we just get to sit and wait for Jack to pop out!
