Looking into the room before....
And after.....
We even changed the carpet, which made a huge difference! When we pulled up the old carpet we were so happy that we had decided to replace it. I think it was original which would be 30 years old.Towards the window before....
And after.....Then....
And now....
I'm so happy I managed to get Tessy in both pictures, what a funny dog!

As you can tell Ryan did SO mush work putting up the bead board and shelving. He did the routing on all the shelves himself. I love looking at the perfect details of it, he curved each shelf at the end where the curtains and door would have hit, it looks so great! I felt as though I should put some work into the room so I chose to stencil her name on the wall, but it was Ryan's idea to overlap the squares, dang him and his good ideas!
I was also lucky enough to have a baby shower at work last week, I've always loved the people I work with and it was great to have so much support! So between the two showers this baby is ready! I just had to take a picture of her jam-packed closet. Notice the tupperware tubs filled with more clothes, and this picture does not include the drawers on the crib that are stuffed, and the diapers in the hall closet.
So now it's just a waiting game, all the bags are packed, and only 4 more days of work so we are ready! I just cannot believe this day is here! My entire life I have wanted children and to stay at home to raise them... I don't know quite how to react now that it's a reality.
