On Saturday, Andy's parents came over in the morning and they got started painting the Ohio State University scarlet red on the walls! Go Bucks! The color is perfect & it's fun to pay tribute to Andy's parents home state!



I left to get drinks at Sonic and by the time I got back they were pretty much done with the first coat! Amazing!


Sunday morning, Andy took down all the tape and pulled the plastic up off the floor! Woo-hoo, the painting is done!!!








Andy found a race car rug that goes great with the room. We had something else in mind for the rug, but $300 vs. $20...that's a no-brainer!!!


Wrench art preview! I can't wait until all the letters are up on the wall. We just have to decide where to put everything!!!


It's exciting to see our decorating ideas turn into reality. Especially since we've been in our house a year and this is the only room we've really put effort into!!!

Let the transformation begin!

Andy & I decided that the room that was our messy office/catch all room would be turned into Wyatt's room. We couldn't move the office stuff out until our roommate moved out in June.

At the end of June, Andy disassembled the desk to move it. Oh what a mess I have!!!

By the end of July we had moved all the bigger stuff and this is what I had left to go through. I wanted to take my time and go through all the junk I had piled up. Andy gave me until the end of August to finish my organizing project! I didn't completely get done, so now all these boxes are in the living room!!! I need professional help!! He calls it my migrating clutter!

Andy started the transformation of Wyatt's room last weekend by testing out the red paint for the walls. It was taking him a while, so I went to check on him and this is what I found...this is what he considers "test spots"!!! I'm sure glad we like this red!!!

So...this brings us to this evening. We're painting all four walls this bright red starting tomorrow morning. Well, not me...Andy and his parents! I'll be working on the clutter in the living room!

The south wall w/the window...

The east wall....

The north wall w/ entrance door....

And the west wall w/ the closet...

I decided today after talking to Jason to paint the ceiling BLACK!!!! It's bold, but what the heck, it's just paint!!! Andy started with the ceiling tonight!

We've got a lot more ideas for his room rolling around in our heads. Obviously, we're doing red and black for the colors. We found cool diamond plate crown molding, base boards, and switch & outlet covers. His changing table/dresser will be a black craftsman toolbox on wheels. His crib will be black. I had a guy from work weld together wrenches to spell his name, they look AMAZING! And we found black and white checkered fabric that will be his crib bedding and curtain valance! We've seen a lot more things we'd like to do in the room, but we're going to limit ourselves for now and gradually add things as he gets older. I'm sure Wyatt won't care about his room for a while, but Andy is sure enjoying all this!!! We'll give updates on the progress!

Busy busy busy!

Wow! Time has been flying by lately! We've been attending each and every prenatal class the hospital has to offer! It's a lot of time to devote to these classes, but I'm glad we're doing it! Other than the classes we're staying incredibly busy doing "STUFF"! I can't wait until Wyatt is here and we can be at home for a while with him, just the three of us! I have some blogging to catch up on that I'll try to do this weekend!!! We had a 3D ultrasound last Saturday, we're starting to paint Wyatt's room and as of this coming Monday I have 7 weeks until the due date!!!
