Fade To Pink, Part 2

You might recall a previous post about impending pinkness in the Pandemonium Place that I promised to finish at a later date.  Well, here it finally is.

We left Part 1 with bare walls and an open ceiling with a frigid breeze whistling through the eves.  We got the wallboard and insulation up as soon as possible and that made a huge difference.
Notice the snow on the ground outside the window.

The former closet looks a little better.  Just the right size for a crib, don't you think? I thought so too, even measured twice and carefully cut back the little bench where the stairwell ceiling angles down so the crib would fit. But I forgot to allow for the baseboard. Didn't fit! Oops.
Paxton loves to paint.  He even got some on the walls.
Progress! There's the pink. And some green. Lettuce and Flamingo, to be precise.  All carefully chosen to match the crib sheets, of course. Floor by IKEA.
A little trim work and some custom shelving finishes it off. Oh, and the crib does fit? Only after shortening it an inch and giving it a couple solid kicks to wedge it in. I'm not sure how we'll get it out.
The other half of the room is Andrea's workshop, complete with IKEA table and IKEA shelves and IKEA chair and IKEA rug and IKEA baskets and IKEA...
These windows haven't looked this good for a hundred years!
Girl stuff.
Our little princess, plotting pandemonium, not even dressed in pink! Welcome to the Palace, princess.
