I'm still on schedule, with my third update of the week! Today it's time to share what's going on with the nursery.
The biggest issue that we needed to attack in this room were the walls. The previous owners painted with some textured paint that reminded me of stucco! Clearly this is not the sort of wall you'd think of for a nursery where you will have a little one running into walls!
First, this is what that room, formerly the office, looked like until about a couple of months ago.
It took a LOT of time and effort (and a few trips to the Salvation Army) to rearrange everything to combine our spare room and office. I was surprised at how big the room looked when it was empty! Make sure you check out the awesome light fixture that's in there now.

We were going to attack the walls ourselves, but my co-worker convinced me to get a semi-professional plasterer in here to do them. I'm glad we did. In only half a day on Tuesday, all of the "stucco" was smoothed over, and our walls look like new!
Next up, we'll be attacking the moldings and getting the walls prepped for painting. Yay for progress! There is still a lot to do though, but it will keep us busy!
Looking good! I love that awesome light fixture. We had several like that in the places we lived when I was growing up.
