Baby Room Prep Part 1

Rumor has it that our house is expecting a visit from the stork this summer. Matt and I couldn't be more excited! But in light of that fact, we needed to fix up our spare room so that we will have a place to keep the precious bundle that the stork leaves behind. *wink*
It is a work in progress, but we are slowly getting it inhabitable. Our first project was to lay flooring. The original flooring was just pine boards painted white and had pink play dough stuck all over it from the previous owners' children. Matt had also had to cut a corner out of the floor last year to repair the back wall of the house, and we had never replaced it. On a couple of Matt's days off we went to work and laid this flooring. We love how it looks and how easy it was to put down!





The hardest part of the whole process was nailing down the subflooring that had to go underneath it. Once we got that finished, laying the flooring was a piece of cake. :-)



Step one of room remodel completed! :-)

Great work, Matt! Make sure your little man sees the special floor he gets in his room! And good call to make it hard wood seeing it will have miles of "trucks and cars" run over it in the next few years. Can't wait to see it all complete, the room as well as Baby! Love you guys!

Daddy is doing a perfect job on Baby's room! We are hoping to get one of those floor mats that has roadways printed on it to put in the middle of the floor for him to play trucks and cars on. :-)

The little bundle is on the way...just needs to cook a little bit more. :-)
