Last week, our living room couches arrived and against all sane advice and a lot of your wise council- we stuck with the white! They look really great, and although I am sure there will be stains in my future, we do have a stain warranty, where they remove stains or replace the couch. The coffee table also looks great, and I am beginning to dress the room with accessories and make it feel complete. I got some green pillow covers at Pottery Barn that I LOVE- but they were really overpriced, so I feel a little guilty about them. I also got an end table and will try to get some pictures of the room when I get more done. I really need to replace the floral curtains that are in that area right now because they are pretty awful.
We also made some progress in the past few days in the nursery! Big Guy worked all weekend with his Dad to put up the moulding/molding and it looks really goo. The pictures aren't that great because I was taking them at strange angles, but I think you get the idea. Additionally, we ripped up the carpet to expose wood floors that are in decent shape! There are a couple gouges in the center of the room, and eventually we will need to refinish the floor, but for now- an area rug will hide the scrapes and scratches and we will try to clean them up and make them look as good as possible. Big guy spent a few hours last night pulling staples and when I got home from running my million errands he surprised me with a staple free floor! This means that we can clean up, build the crib and start moving stuff into the nursery! I can't wait to see how it all comes together. I am really happy with how it looks so far.

It looks great! I adore molding like that.
Everything looks really great! We ripped up carpeting when we bought our house too...I will never understand why people cover gorgeous old hardwood with nasty wall to wall. :)
It looks amazing! So excited for you guys! Congratulations on all the progress.
The nursery looks great! I love the wall color and the molding.
looks fantastic! I like the white!! :)
I think the best part of starting new in a place is the process of giving it your own personality and flavor-- I couldn't agree with you more on the hardwood floors- So clean and tasteful.
It looks beautiful! I love that molding. Its classic and elegant.
Even though I counseled against the white, it looks gorgeous! I LOVE the green pillows. Well done.
The baby's nursery looks soooo sweet. I can't wait to see more pix!
You have such great taste! Love the moulding and colour scheme in the nursery and the white sofa with the green ( you may need to think about covering it in plastic when your baby arrives!!). Beautiful!
That looks so great! I want to do this in our dining room!
