Sorry about the delayed post yesterday, but I went with my daughter and son in law to her doctor's visit, so I could see the baby. She is due in September, and everything is going smoothly thus far.
My husband and son have completed their part of the nursery closet renovation. The original door's outline is visible in the picture below. The closet spans the entire length of this wall, but access was so limited because of the door location and the width of the closet.
An opening for double 5-panel doors (Home Depot special order to match existing doors) was created. Electricity was also added so the closet could have lights and an outlet.
Now we can access the entire closet. If you remember from the post before about this closet, we had to find a mill that could copy the trim around the closet. I must say it is darn close to the existing trim. (Pictures later with the trim) Now I am scouring salvage yards for the moulding to make the piece above the door. If I can't find any, I will check with my neighbor and see if he can make something for me as he is a master carpenter and has created beautiful furniture.
Paint colors have been selected, and my son in law is in the process of getting bids for tape and bedding and painting. I can't wait to see the room when that is completed.
Babies are certainly miracles, and as I sat in the waiting room after the sonogram, my son in law expressed the same thought. He said, " You know we go about our daily lives and let the most inconsequential things influence our thoughts while every second that ticks by, there is a miracle happening. And I can't believe I am part of that miracle. Wow!" My sentiments exactly.
Enjoy! Lana
