nesting has started

this weekend y and i cleaned out the living room closet where the baby is going to go. that sounds horrible. i'll post pictures but basically it goes like this: we live in a 1,000 sq ft loft. there is no extra room to be made for our little butter bun except in places like our living room closet. the doors came off this weekend and the shelf was torn out. the space where our closet was will become "baby cove" over the next few months.

i ordered flor and wallpaper samples on monday but so much needs to be done to that little space before we can kit it out with the crib and dresser/ changing table. when i ripped the shelf out a small patch of drywall came off. woops. apparently one end of the shelf was affixed to the wall with industrial glue. we also need to prime and paint a cement pillar that is right next to the designated crib area. we would keep it naked but the bits of cement are shedding all over the place and we'd end up giving our kid asthma or something just because we wanted to keep his living space loft-like and industrial.

the amount of junk that came out of the closet and our basement storage is astounding. right now a huge portion of it is piled up in the basement with a note attached to a box pleading patience from our neighbors and promising its removal by saturday. last night i went to the basement to throw out some recycling and noticed that not only are people taking things from the pile (yay!) but they are also adding to the pile (boo!) what to do? apparently the urge to add to a mass of junk is irresistible.
