Getting There...

We’ve gotten a good bit accomplished over the past two weeks for the baby’s room. The crib is now completely finished, sanded and painted with the final touches. We added the “G” and trim bead to the front panel last weekend, then Andy finished it up with more sanding and painting. It turned out exactly how I wanted it, so a big thanks to Andy and my dad for building it! (below a progression of pictures):

Andy also got the nursery painted this past weekend. Even though I got the environmentally safe paint (of course!), I steered clear of the room while Andy painted the two coats. It is Sherwin Williams Rice Paddy and I love it…kind of a “handsome” green, if you will (no sissy pastel green for my boy!). I also sorted through about a hundred fabric swatches and picked out a palette of blue, brown and green… now I just need to design the window treatments, pillows, bedding, etc. My mom is coming to New York for a week to help me out with finishing up the nursery (obviously she will be making all of the treatments for her grandson!). Here is a sneak peak at the progress thus far:

I have the nursery prints already (vintage hot air balloons), and the chandelier we bought at a flea market in Greece is hung. We’re picking up the dresser next week, and trying to decide on a wall treatment. Overall I feel pretty good about the progress; the nursery should be complete by the beginning of April.

Now, for my progress over the past few weeks, a few updated pics of preggo…25 and 26 weeks (only 14 to go!):

Lastly, some shots of the recent snow we’ve enjoyed:

Also – congrats to Andy for racing so well at the Bronx Half-Marathon yesterday – 11th place overall, and 2nd place in his age group. Way to go Andy!
