Ethan's room in progress...

This room used to be our den. However, we have been working to empty it, so we can move Ethan in here. We will use the nursery for the new baby. I have been working slowly at cleaning out and getting rid of a bunch of things. Then we worked down in our storage room, making room for the things from the den. To do that we had to clean out underneath the stairway, so we could move our Christmas bins under there. Finally tonight, John Pike came over tonight to help move the furniture downstairs. The desk is now in the guest room downstairs. The bookshelf and curio cabinet were moved into the "sitting room" at the bottom of the stairs in the basement. It was so nice to have a couple of evenings home finally (Friday & Saturday - afternoon & evening) to be able to get things done in here! Bart's been working hard on his "honey-do" list! :-) He even ran a phone line to the guest bedroom to hook up our wireless network tonight. What a guy!

The old den, Ethan's soon-to-be room.
The guest bedroom downstairs, with the computer desk in it now, and Bart hard at work.

Christmas bins now under the stairway.

The sitting room rearranged, with the bookshelf down here now.

And finally the curio cabinet in place in the "sitting" room.

Phew! That was the hard, not-so-fun part. Now comes the fun part - picking out the decor for Ethan's room, ie. border, paint colors, etc. We're thinking a sports theme, like balls, etc. When we decide on our border and colors, we'll have to see when Uncle Lance is available to come up and help paint. (I don't think he knows that he's going to help us yet, hopefully.) ;-)
