A brief history of Franklin's room -

A month or so before Franklin was born, I started getting his room ready. I thought cleaning the walls, priming and painting would be fine, but quickly realized there was some water damage in the corner.

A few weeks and one new roof later, I cut out drywall and replaced the damaged wood.

Drywall, plaster and lots of sanding:

I was painting the night of February 8th when there was a slight interruption.


With some helpers to finish the painting, Franklin was soon able to sleep in his crib. The decorating took a few more weeks. The valence, shade, diaper stacker were made by Franklin's Great Aunt Debbie:

Glider cover and blanket made by his Grandma Nancy, Bear Pirate stool from Aunt Patty.
Crib skirt and bumpers from Great Aunt Debbie.
Franklin Train from Aunt Nancy's boyfriend Dustin's Grandfather Bob:
Changing table and Kermit.

He seems to like it!
