baby room!

baby talk alert
Before we left, we asked my mom to start her work in the baby's room. We had recently had our neighbor build a wall to make a little enclosed space for our soon to arrive daughter. The saga of the wall is a scandalous tale of trust betrayed, massive cost overruns, and general dismay. Privately, I now call this five inch thick structure the "multimilliondollar wall"; during the course of "the project", our room lost two windows and one wall, took two months to complete and increased in price by twofold. Awesome! Anyway, I had just painted the wall (no, not Gold, but tempting) so mom was ready to go. She worked the whole weekend and we came home to find that she had already finished a great mural!


We had a little extra wall space, so Chloe and I added a little bit as well:



and I installed the nice wool rug that mom bought for us and the baby.
