Trafton's New Room

We have decided to convert our guest room into Trafton's room and keep Trafton's room as a nursery for our new baby. Our nursery was purposely designed gender-neutral with a forest theme, so we won't have to change much. We hope to make several changes to the restof the house, though. First, paint the guest room blue and design it with a train theme for Trafton. Second, change our enclosed porch area into an office. Third, change the very small room that is currently used as our office into a guest room (it will just fit a double bed without any extra room!). Fourth, change the hall closet into Daniel's closet, since his clothes are all in Trafton's future closet and the future tiny guest room has no closet. We have a lot of work to do in the next 20 weeks :)

The first step to this whole grand plan has been to remove the queen-sized bed out of the guest room. We plan to get a lower-profile double bed for Trafton and put a guardrail on it. So, last weekend Daniel's father and brother came to take our bed away. It's a very nice bed, but unfortunately we have no place to put it anymore, so Al agreed to take it off of our hands. The only trick was getting it out of the house during a slight snowstorm and east on I-80 to New Jersey. Piece of cake :)

Our guest bed - it is very high and just not good for a two-year-old.

Enjoying the bed one last time

This room is at the back of our house so it has the best view. With the windows open in nice weather you can listen to our pond waterfall in the backyard.

Bringing it down

The bed, frame, and split box were moved in a matter of minutes.

Now it was time to wrap everything in plastic to avoid damage on the interstate.

Not bad!

Everything loaded into Michael's truck - time for the trip back to New Jersey.

Off they go!
