Nesting: Phase II and III...IV??

The backyard is finally done. We love it way more than we thought we would. Because we added the screen to the arbor its like having another room. We bought the fountain and it makes a great centerpiece for the garden. But the very,very best part is our contractor did it UNDER BUDGET!!! To see more of the photos, check Picasa.

But my nesting is far from over. I finally convinced Jeff to give up his office for the nursery. The new nursery will have a space theme and we are having a muralist paint the room. We are also putting in custom closets and used EasyClosets again. I love their application and then its so easy to install (for Jeff). For the mural we had to do the base coat, and it was so dark we were worried it wasn't going to turn out well. Its like walking into a cave but she said to be patient and let her finish. (See finished photos on Picasa).

Jeff was very sad to give up his old office. It was the biggest room and he didn't want to also get rid of the spare room. I decided to give him a gift (bribe whatever). I told him as part of the move I would have a contractor build him a new office and we could remove the closet which would make his office larger and we could put a sofa bed or something for guests. Jeff then found ZoomRoom, and we decided to have the cabinet maker put one of those into the room. I think we'll have contractors here until the baby is born.... If I have time, I'm going to also replace the shower in the master, but Jeff thinks I'm crazy. (Update, see new office on Picasa link)
