The Great Reveal

It's not a big secret that with J-rod's work schedule, time is not a freely-flowing resource around our house. Even though the motivation for completing DIY projects is there...the time isn't. As many of you know, many, many, moons ago we set out to re-do the boys room and get the nursery ready for baby. Were it not for the help of many great friends, neither room would be complete yet. To all those who encouraged us, gave us wonderful suggestions, lent us tools, and helped paint--THANK YOU!

And now without further ado, here are the long awaited pics of the process for both rooms:
