We decided a long time ago that whenever we needed a nursery, we would convert what was our office into the baby's room. It's the smallest bedroom in our house, and, honestly, a guest bed just wouldn't fit in there very well (unless that was the only piece of furniture in there). In addition to that, we had received permission to paint that room from the moment we saw the house and signed the lease. When I talked to our landlord about colors (a long time ago), he did say that he preferred beige colors to grey tones (sad day!), but other than that he's been pretty lenient about letting us make minor changes to his house.
We (Travis) rearranged the furniture in the guest bedroom so that our desks would fit in there, and we finally managed to get all of the boxes and trash out of Baby's room. The painting has been started, but Travis is leaving town on tour tomorrow, so I won't be posting "after" pictures for at least a week (probably longer). I thought I'd let you go ahead and see what we were working with, though.

Stay tuned! :)
