Mia's room 99.9% done!

So, Mia's room is almost done!!! :) The only thing left to do is put up the butterflies on the changing table wall. The little white butterfly in the picture below goes with the set that we got to scatter on the opposite wall. I can't believe it's done and now we are just waiting on Mia to arrive to make it complete!!!

This is the view from the bedroom door that we can see as we come in the house every day. It warms our hearts and makes us smile to be greeted with it every day as we come into the house! Can't wait for her to be in it!

This is the view from the closet. I'm proud of myself for hanging the drapery rod and blinds all by myself last weekend while Zeus was at work. NOT that a 9 mo pregnant woman should be standing on chairs with power tools, but I must say that I did a superb job! :)

This is the wall that still needs to have the butterflies scattered over it to be complete. I've got them all out of the box and ready to tack up, but want to arrange the various sized butterflies on the floor first to get a pattern down that I like. Hoping to get that done this week or at least before the little one comes. :)

Here's the last wall and her little car seat and closet. The round circle frames to the left of the closet doors are for her hand and foot prints. Can't wait to do them and hang them up there!

Baby Mia, we are SO ready for you to arrive!!!

HIP, HIP, HOORAY! - Mia's Room

Mia's room is nearly done!!! Here are some pics of before, after and "in progress".

Mia's room ended up being a dumping ground for boxes and stuff when I first moved in. We DID get it cleared out bit by bit so that family who came into town would have beds to sleep in. Thank goodness for them coming, or it would probably still look that way. :) Nothing like company coming to motivate you into getting some house cleaning done!!!

This is what it looks like now. Isn't it SO DANG CUTE!!! We still have stuff to finish and sort through and put away (ie, the shelves in the bookcase and the gift bags on the floor). So FUN to have it come together though. We busted our tails this weekend to get it finished!

Here are some pictures of the work in progress for those of you who (like me) are totally into seeing the "process" of home improvement and decorating.

Mia's room with crib put together, walls taped off and ready for paint!

Papa Zeus and Uncle Jeff putting up the ceiling fan in Mia's room. Tricky without directions, but they did it! :)

The "first" color, which is the color of the hallways, and NOT the color of the kitchen that it was suppose to be. :) Whoopsie!

The difference between the two colors as it was being edged.

The originally planned color all finished and ready for the top color to be painted.

Walls all un-taped and ready to go with the top color!

Zeus painting the top pale "earthy" pink color. Sometimes looks a little tan in some pics (like the one below). This is one of "truer" color looking picture.

The anal mama painting the perfect crisp edge between the two colors so that we didn't have to buy and put up quarter round edging. :) So very sneaky of me, eh?!?

Mia's room from left to right. Can't wait to see her looking so new and tiny in the crib!

Gotta love the Poang chair. Can't wait to hold Mia in it! We even can't wait to change her little diapers on the changing table and put her dirty clothes in the laundry hamper!!! lol

There is still things to put away and supplies to get - we only have ONE package of diapers so far - but we can't wait for her to get here and be in our arms and in her new little room! :)
