as mentioned before, the nursery transformation involved relocating ryan’s record collection to the living room. we also decided we’d like a sofa with arms that we could curl up and watch a movie on, so we ended up getting this bright yellow parlor sofa from cb2. we lucked out and were able to purchase a floor model at a great discount!

here are some images of our new cozy living room. visit the week 3 post in case you missed the before photos.

check out this amazing sticker! we still aren’t quite sure what is going on, but it appears to be some sort of ball following a guy who is about to run into a wall. or something like that…

our weeping cherry tree had some beautiful blooms this year! it’s in the same family as a cherry blossom tree, only the limbs hang down like a weeping willow.

we assembled the crib, bought a mattress, and found a fun curtain panel to go over the closet door. next on the list: 1. make the new roman shade out of this fun fabric we found at whipstitch, 2. find a new home for the sectional sofa, 3. select a paint color & paint…

so, part of the nursery transformation project included relocating ryan’s rather extensive record collection from the old media room to the living room. the old media room shelves now house my fabric and we got a new ikea shelf for the records…

it’s musical chairs around here! we’ve included some “before” photos of the living room and will post updates on our progress.

so far, we have moved the big worktable from the old office into its new home (hiding the flat file underneath), relocated gub’s fabric collection and moved the old card catalogue. we also set up ryan’s record collection in the living room.

getting the nursery emptied out was great! except we now have our prized 50s sectional sofa in there, which needs to be sold before we can paint. (anyone interested?) but we did buy some fabric to make a new shade for the window and we’re close to selecting a paint color.

in order to make room for our expanding family, we are turning our old office / work room / studio into the new baby’s room. since both sets of grandparents live out of town, we opted to keep our only guest bedroom in tact so they can come visit. we are playing a bit of “musical rooms” and turning what we used to refer to as “the media room,” which houses our movies, ryan’s huge record collection, and our flat file into the new work room and studio. we are setting up ryan’s office in the guest bedroom.

here’s what everything looked like before this transformation began…
