Crown molding

Today we interrupt our obnoxious mommy blogging in favor of wannabe interior design blogging. Over the Fourth of July weekend, while not marching in parades or eating the best BBQ in Texas, Clay and Greg spent the weekend putting up crown molding. They did two bedrooms at Greg's house and the two living areas in our house. It looks fantastic and took three times longer than their original estimate, so all in all a completely professional job.

Here is the final result in our living room. It's not the greatest photo ever but I couldn't focus on the ceiling any more without cropping out the beagle (clearly not an option):

Just for fun, here's what the room looked like when we bought the house:


We also finally wrapped up the nursery, a mere seven weeks after Henry was born. We weren't sure which poster to frame until we knew if we were having a boy or a girl, and then the framing took awhile. Anyway here it is, complete with baby (and beagle):
