Baby Room

We decided to convert our dining area into our baby room. Our friend wants to silk screen images on the walls, but in order to accomplish that feat, the wall surface needed to be smooth and our walls in that room had a good amount of plaster texture. So instead of sanding the plaster down or plastering over the plaster, Gramma Callahan had the genius idea of putting a lining paper (similar to wall paper but much thicker to cover textures and imperfections) up to cover the texture! She's a smart one. Not only did it work wonders but it wasn't as messy as the other options. When Dad and Bonnie came up, they helped us put up the liner paper and we accomplished the job in record time!

Dad and Bonnie only stayed for a few nights. When they left Scott and Patrick came up just in time to help us paint the room! How convenient! With all the help, we got the whole room papered and painted in just a few days. It was great to have the help. Here are a few "before and after" pictures of the room and of the crib that the guys put together. It's not a huge room, 8x8, but it's just for a baby, right?
