The Baby's Room: A Makeover Story, Part 1

AKA: How many TLC shows can I rip off in one blog title?

We're not completely finished in here yet, but I wanted to show the work we've done in the nursery.

Before:

I'm telling you, this is why we had kids.

Do you know how much fun he had riiiiiiiping away at that wallpaper?

It was better than any toy.

Making a little progress:

We retextured the walls and the ceiling, painted, changed out the fan (Do you like it? Just kidding.), and threw in a few pieces of furniture and some curtains.

It's much better, but not where I want it yet.

If you dig that pom pom mobile and my $12 change table redo (and if you want to see more child-labor pictures), click here and here.

If you want to learn how to retexture your own popcorn ceilings, you're a freak like us, but click here.

  1. Looking good, Erin! Taking wallpaper off walls is not easy work. Out here most homes are newer, but my sister managed to buy a home in Brea that was built in the 60's. It had a layer of wallpaper from each decade--so funny. It was a history lesson in what was fashionable. You are VERY brave for taking the popcorn off your ceilings. I have heard that is a "messy" project. : )

  2. How fun! We had a lot of wallpaper to strip when we moved into our house- and I was 9 months pregnant! Your nursery is really coming together!
