We have spent the entire weekend clearing out the room. The room we have collected everything in now for 7 years. The room that had odds and ends, futons, spare sectional sections. Computer desk, games, JUNK. It made sense at the time just to throw EVERYTHING in here. Now that it is time to take it all away, I wish I had second thought it to begin with. It is cleared though, all that is left is to decide what to do with the computer.
That has been a subject of debate now for about 3 months. He wants it down in the basement. We have a small finished off area down there, but it is not heated yet. Umm honey winter is coming and we can not really afford to place a heating system in there at this time. How about upstairs, the area of the house that is heated but the wiring is not upgraded yet... nope can't do it. The living area? It would be too cluttered with one more thing in there. Hows about I just buy an inexpencive netbook? Nope, maybe for Christmas... I can not live without a computer for 4 months! Okay put it in the basement, I will use a space heater for the time being. It shouldn't be THAT cold until December anyway. So, that is the plan. By next week I will be stuck in the basement nesting away. At least at this point it is cool down there.
Next comes paint - I destroyed a forest and collected paint chips of every possible shade of every possible color I was debating. I have now narrowed it down to a smokey blue. I will get some paint samples this week and see which I like.
Scotty has to repair the hole in the wall. Tear down the 70's wallpaper still in the closet. Then it is on to painting the room. The furiture should arrive shortly after that. I still need new shades and a rug. I am searching the internet as we speak for the perfect rug. Debating the color of that as well - chocolate brown or a cream color... hmm.
I will post pictures of the progress as we go!

Here is just a WEE thought on the computer part. Chances are you will be getting a bassinett to put into your bedroom to help wtih the feeding every 2 hours part....and thats pretty much a good 3 months if your not lucky....and generally 5-6 months is a good time to transition into the crib...so your looking at next summer before it becomes really his room (my son is 3 months and his crib is still full with suff we got from the shower we dont know where to put :P)
My suggestion would be to leave the computer in the baby's room for now in a corner....could be a bit tacky, but you will not be using your son's room this winter, so why not just leave it there for now?
Just a thought....sounds like the room is going to look neat!
Actually since the babies room is next door to mine and my bedroom is relatively small, we will be placing him right away in his own room.
I would love to leave the computer in there. It is the easiest of all solutions, but with how the walls and windows and radiator heating (old home) is set up, we barely have any space to place the few pieces of furniture we are getting in there.
