We got Caelun's room done in time for his birthday. He is now to a point where he only wakes up once or twice a night so it seems worth it to move him in to his own room. His room used to be Clint's office. We also had to patch the plaster in the ceiling, as well as painting. We had water damage from when we took the roof off to put on the addition. We started the renovation during spring break and finished it just before Cae's birthday. My dad came over and kept Caelun occupied so we could plaster. It was a huge help. Clint then did baby duty and the taxes while I sanded and painted. How he did that I do not know. I definitely got the better end of the bargain. I still have to make the curtains, move his armoire, and we have some odds and ends to do. He slept in there for the night last night for the first time. I had to go feed him at 3 and again at 5. I am told the sleeping thing will get dramatically better when he hits 20lbs. Hopefully that happens sometime before he goes to college.

We did a light sand and a fresh coat of polyurethane on the floor. These are the original 200 + year old wood floors. The base board is earth brown and we plan to add worms and such.

BTW, don't let them talk you into grey primer.
This is the first time I have done it and it was awful.
Use KILZ or, if you don't need that level of coverage,
just use an extra coat of the paint you are putting on.

All in all we are pleased with the result of his room.
