I've got 5 out of 6 doors installed, and one side of the trim. It looks so much better already. I have to notch out the last door jamb to fit the attic stairs. I'm not looking forward to that.
After 5 years of staring at ratty old doors and trim, I finally did something about it. The hardest part is getting everything level and plumb, especially in our house where everything is out of whack. I've got 3 of 6 installed, 2 completely done (installed, stained, hardware). Lot's of prep work, sanding and staining each surface twice, but totally worth it. Even without the trim installed it looks so much nicer (see second photo showing new door on left, old on right). Top photo you can catch a glimpse of the project supervisor peeking through the door.
After enduring another IKEA adventure (love the furniture, checkout line not-so-much) I got the replacement part for the crib and put it together. Picked up some mobiles, rugs and a couple of toys. We've got a rocking chair to put in here and an awesome ceiling lamp I need to install, then all we need is the baby. As with everything I do around the house, Zoe supervised.
No more races + rain + impending due date + coffee = progress. I got the nursery painted, trim and baseboard in and the changing table put together. I'm going to replace the window trim and someday refinish the ugly floor. Crib has a gacked headboard, so I gotta make a trip to the big blue box (Ikea) to get a replacement. Gonna pick up some cool stuff for the room while there.
