12 in 2012: January

I've started probably half of my 12 in 2012 list but I was starting to worry that I wouldn't finish one this month. Today C pulled her diaper off while she was supposed to be napping and while I was stripping her wet sheets I decided that if I had to change the bedding I might as well take the crib apart and move it into the spare room. I don't know that Gary was all that excited about it, but he was a good sport and helped me switch the rooms. So, just like that I'm done with one of my goals. Mind you, it's not "done", it's just...moved. I'm still playing around with ideas, trying to pick a color scheme (purple and gold or pink and aqua??) so this space will be a "work in progress" for a while, but here is how it has evolved so far:

When we moved in.

My great shame: the "office" phase (aka, the "dump everything in here and close the door so we can pretend this doesn't exist" phase.)

Switching out flooring, repainting (again), and installing new baseboard.

C, all moved in!

I'm pretty sure we're going with the pink and blue color scheme--hence the paper on the wall and color of her play kitchen (which I'll have to address in its own post!) For now though, this room is purely functional as a place for C to sleep and play. Phew, glad to have that one checked off...now on to February's goal!
