It’s here! It’s finally here! I have been growing increasingly impatient these past few weeks as we ordered and then waited for the nursery carpet to arrive. We could have ordered it sooner, but we took our time painting the room to make sure we were thorough, and we knew we couldn’t have the carpet show up any sooner than when the last coat of trim paint had dried. Then, of course, there was scheduling the installation and such, and so we shuffled baby things around from room to room for a bit as house guests came and went, and as the crib arrived, etc.

This morning, Kruger inspected the room one last time as Jason cleaned up straggling paint supplies, and then I gave the hardwood floors one last good vacuum.

good work, kruger.

Before 8 am, the nursery looked like this…

nursery floor, pre-carpet

By 8:30am, after a lot of pounding and banging from upstairs, it was looking a bit more like this…

And now? It looks like this!…

Kruger could hardly stand all of the excitement and was wholeheartedly determined to check things out after the installers left. I thought it best to let him sniff around for a minute. His vote? Tails’s up!

kruger checks out the new carpet. just once. 🙂

As for me, it was love at first “squish!”

ahhhh...

My toes are pleased, and I’m certain that baby’s will be, too. It’s sooooo soft and lovely.

don't they LOOK happy?!

The new carpet is light and fresh and just the right color, and I’m oh-so-delighted to have it in. Now we can put the crib and bookshelf together and start putting baby things where they’ll go. Next up? A crib mattress, bedding (in progress) and the dresser/changing table (still hunting for something that’s juuuuuust right!)

watching it all come together. hurray!
