When we started, Brett had a Man Room. The walls were dark blue (not our choice, but we left them when we moved in) and covered in posters of concerts he'd attended. He had a desk made of pieces of plywood that had been hot glued together. His room was a catch-all for anything that wasn't in the playroom (which has since become our shared office and guest room). Note the stain on the carpet.
We let my oldest big brother have his way with the closet and the floors and this is what happened! We have gorgeous hardwood floors in there now and an expanded closet to fit all the baby clothes and supplies.
After getting the office done, and taking a break for a week, B started painting. The new color is a beautiful spring green that is cool and soothing for our little Beans.
Then came the construction of the cribs. CribSSSSS. Two. Brett obviously had help in the form of The Little Blond Bombshell. She was really more management than anything. B built the cribs in under three hours, there was minimal amounts of cussing and he only lost patience with Management (Lucy & Pasqualina) two or three times. He's really good at putting together cribs. I might be willing to hire him out.
And there's the first one finished! He did a great job! He's very handy with an Alan Wrench. Allen Wrench? Cribs, check!!
And here's the almost finished product! The bumpers are in(ish), though they won't be staying once the Babes arrive due to SIDS and my terror of that awful tragedy. We'll put them back once they've outgrown the risk of SIDS and we lower the mattresses to past infant size.
Didn't he do an amazing job? He's so Smart!!
Now we just need some babies to go in those cribs!
GROW TEAM BEAKER!!!
