Week 31, day 1

Baby room update:
Todd installed the old trim over the new floor. I think it looks fantastic.

Oh, and take note Chad Arney, we followed your advice and removed the baseboards before installing the floor. It was worth it!!! :)

Todd cut and stained this trim to match the rest of the existing trim in the room. Then I put the closet door back in.

Todd also cut and stained the trim for around the door to match. Great job Todd!!!
