Well we are one step closer to being ready to bring two new little ones into our home. We finished painting the nursery and put the cribs together!! Now all that's left is to move the changing table into the room and figure out the layout. Gabriel and Baby Girl will be sharing a room so we had to figure out a theme that would be appropriate for both of them and since I always call Beth "My Princess" we thought that a Prince & Princess room would be cool. Actually, a friend of Beth's on Coastiechicks was the first to suggest the theme, so thank you MamaFox (aka Angela)! We loved your idea and ran with it! It took a bit of research and a lot of erasers on my part but I finally figured out how to draw the murals on the walls. We then had our neighbors scan them into the computer and we borrowed a computer projector to blow the drawings up on the wall. Beth helped me trace them and finally paint them. It took several weeks but we are quite pleased with the result. Hopefully our children will one day appreciate all the hard work we put into their room.

Starting the Castle on the third side of the room (over the changing table).
Finished Castle.
