The Über Nursery
With all due respect to Her Milfesty, the Über Nursery is complete! There has been a ton of time and money spent on this room, so I just have to pat myself on the back and post pictures of the completed product.
I did not originally set out to build the Über Nursery. I only wanted to take a non-used room in my house and make it into a warm and safe place for my son. Well, the knuckleheads that owned my house before me had paneled the room directly over the studs and did not put in any insulation whatsoever. Also, the windows were were old single-pane ones that let in a ton of cold air, so they needed to go. So I ripped down the paneling, installed insulation and new windows, and everything sort of snowballed from there.
The reason that I put as much time and effort into this project is because I wanted to really bless my wife with a room that she would love. This woman has been there with me for 11 years, 8 states, college graduation, six jobs, two houses and a not-so-recreational vehicle (We lived in a 35-foot fifth-wheel for two years while I was working on the road). We had a small wedding and a short honeymoon, and, in short, have never had anything that was spectaular in our lives. She hates 80% of our house and property, but I tell you, she loves this room.
Well, here are the pictures. Enjoy!
Yes, I built this shelf...
The schweet crib (Thanks Mom & Dad!)...
Our son's name will be Jake (Not Jacob)...
The ultra-comfortable chenile chair...
The schweet armoire...
The Bear in the big blue chair...
This is what you see when you walk in the door.
Trust me, she will SO appreciate it! When is she due again???????? Getting close...
Twisted - She is a patient woman, and that is an atribute that she needs being married to me.
NG - Floundey? I love that! Her due date is this Friday.
Sonya - For some reason, my chest is completely grey, and my goatee is starting to turn a little. I think that it is working it's way up to my head.
Tina - Not long now. If I don't post for a few days, you'll know why.
Greta - I am the Jimi Hendrix of the mitre saw, baby! BTW - I picked the cribset and all of the decorations too. Martha Stewart aint got shit on me!
Quick... go to a movie, out to dinner, sleep in... all of the things that will soon be a distant memory ;)
Congrats to you and your wife !
Spy - The crib converts to a full-size bed, so be my guest.
Elizabeth - Hey, thanks for stopping by, and for the compliment! I'm the lucky one here, not her.
Egan - I can't wait until the little guy gets here. You're right, though, this was the easy part.
I think our crib might be the same model with a solid, not slotted, headboard. Jake's got to love his pad. How sweet of you to dedicate this room to your wife of 11 years.
