A brief synopsis of the work: Jonathan ripped half of the panelling off of the walls in order to create a wainscotting look. As you can tell from the picture, the walls underneath required serious plastering (and sanding) to create a flat surface. We also added new trim with floor molding and a chair rail. I helped with the painting (a little)!

I still have to get a curtain rod and hang the adorable valance.

These are mirrored wall appliques.
After (I can't find the before for this wall):
See those monkey faces on the floor-those are going up on the left wall there. Each face depicts a different emotion. They are a huge pain in the ass to put up; the monkey above the crib is the same material and a third of the size-it took two hours. The cute framed giraffe poster is going up on the other wall.

After:
Here's the notorious, yet adorable, two-hour monkey. I have two picture frames that will go up on that right wall space, a handprint on top and a footprint on the bottom. Those doors on the left open into our bedroom.
Up Close:
And, despite all of the time and effort we put into Luke's nursery, he has yet to sleep a single night in there. He prefers to snuggle with Mommy.
