My parents dropped by for a really quick visit today. They were here for an hour at most. They came to drop off the blinds we’d ordered from a store near them. One set of blinds is for the nursery, and the other two are for our bedroom aka baby’s alternate nursery. Sometimes, if the [...]

Today was a very busy day. I didn’t have much sleep last night, and then we had an early start. Shane and the girls ran the Robbie Burns race in Burlington, and when we finally got out of there, we stopped for brunch at Denny’s. Rosa went home with Scill & Sophia, so we could [...]
Finishing strokes

Shane spent some time today doing touch ups on the baby’s room. He also filled some holes & cracks with putty, painted the window frame white to camoflauge the scratches kitties claws have made, and painted the door frames white to match. It looks so nice & bright & cheery in there. Try as I [...]

Shane finished the last colour of stripes today – the green ones are now done. Then he went through and ripped all the remaining tape off the walls. You wouldn’t believe how big the resulting ball of tape was! I think it was bigger than Shane’s head. I thought about posting a sneak peek picture [...]

Shane retaped the stripes, did a couple of errands, and began painting the colours in the baby’s room. Due to the tinted primer & mistakes made when painting the white stripes, it needed 5 coats of the first colour, (orange), to cover that all up. Shane used primer to touch up white mistakes on the [...]

Yesterday, I finished taking photos of baby’s gifts from the shower. I also went out to do some baby related errands with my parents, who came out for a little visit. We went to Fabricland to look for material for the nursery curtains, and we brought home two samples – one orange one I’ve had [...]

Shane got to work today, painting the white stripes and the half wall in the baby’s room. I helped a bit, working on the white stripes on the wall where the crib will be. I have to say, I was so excited to be finally painting that I maybe didn’t do the best job on [...]

Isn’t it the boy scouts whose motto is “be prepared”? If so, maybe they would’ve had some painting tape on them, if they’d happened by… Shane started taping the wall to begin painting the room today, but ran out of tape. I’m not quite sure how that happened, as he checked his painting supplies before [...]

Due to the paint colours we’ve chosen, the guy at Benjamin Moore suggested we use grey tinted primer as the background to make painting easier and cheaper. Otherwise, we’d have to buy separately tinted primers for each of the 4 colours we picked. Shane put up the first coat of primer yesterday, and did the [...]

After a birthday party today, Shane & I headed to the stores to continue our search for a crib & nursery furniture. Yesterday after re-evaluating the costs of the furniture we saw in A Baby’s Room, and comparing it to some mid-range Canadian made furniture on Sears.ca, we decided that the Maxx set was maybe [...]
