Munchkin's Room

Here's some pictures we've taken of Munchkin's room. I think we're just about done!

For the past 4 years we essentially used this room to store art supplies. It had Karin's big cabinet of rubber stamps, the enlarger, mat cutter and drymount press, 4 cameras and a bunch of lenses and about a gazillion framed photographs.



We've done a good job sorting/organizing and consolidating that gear. (Although we still need to find a home for the drymount press.)

We worked pretty hard to get the nursery ready. We needed new baseboards cut (they were removed after the Great Water Heater Flood of 2006). Bob mastered his mitre-saw. As I told him, you bought the toy, you get to use the toy!

Bob also did most of the painting as I seem to be the queen of brushmarks. For those who care, below the chair rail the color is Christopher Robin's Swing and the sky blue is Thoughtful Spot.

Putting together the crib was an adventure in itself. We discovered that the directions were not including in the crib box. While I was on-hold trying to get the directions faxed to us (success!) he figured out how it all worked! Nothing like being married to an engineer!!!

The room came with a great organizer system built in. We removed the closet doors, though as there were two doors but three sections of the organizer. With the doors in place, the middle shelves are essentially useless.

Note the presence of Bob's new dump truck. Vince still has Bob's childhood one, we're leaving it in Omaha for Munchkin to play with there.

You can't tell so well from these pictures, but the crib has the Winnie the Pooh collection inside, including a "My First Pooh", Tigger and Eeyore. They were shower gifts from Jessica.

I think we're just about ready for Munchkin to make an appearance!!!
