In the meantime, we have all kinds of things to keep us busy. Getting his room ready is at the top of the list. Although I originally posted this blog months ago, I'm ashamed to report that nothing has changed between then and now. Not one dern thing.
So, I would like to show you what we have to work with, but I warn you, this is not for the faint of heart.
Then, we have the issue of the floor. It is currently a very brittle, brown linoleum. What? You've never thought about putting linoleum in an upstairs bedroom? Why ever not??
My mom was quite certain that we would find hardwood underneath, this being a century-old house built by capable Amish hands.
Nasty, nasty particle board covered in grime and bug guts. And yes, that's mold on the wall. Thanks for noticing.
All of that to say, we're rather excited about the challenge this room will afford us! I'm combing my files for inspiration. I need budget-friendly, DIY options. I need texture on the walls and a bright color above. I need to find a cheap dresser and some type of a changing table. I need to talk my mama into sewing the crib skirt.

In the meantime, I am ever open to suggestions from all of my crafty, stylish friends. Go hog wild. In a room like this, the only way to go is up.
