Trading Spaces?

It has come to our attention that sometime in the next 4 months, Baby Jeneric will (voluntarily, we hope) trade out his/her current accommodations for a somewhat larger space. Apparently, this means we need to transform a room into a suitable baby depository, er, nursery.

Eric and I are clever people (some might call us wily) and when we moved into our house nearly 3 years ago, we knew which room would become a nursery (we just didn’t know when) so we painted it accordingly – yellow. We thought we’d be on easy street when the time came – move out any furniture, replace with crib, changing table and baby.

Right.

Have you seen the closets in this house? No? Here’s a peak.

You’ll note that they are:
1. Small.
2. Lacking plaster, in parts.
3. Peeling their skin, er, wallpaper.
4. Small.
5. Unsuitable in any way for babies and their gear.

This weekend we will attempt to rectify Numbers 2, 3 and 5 on the above list. As an added challenge, we will also be renovating the hall closet, which is even smaller than the nursery closet and has larger holes.

Too bad Atlantic City is still closed – you can’t take bets on whether we’ll finish everything this month or not!
