So yesterday and the crib was not fun, but we "fixed" it by buying a new crib and that left one last thing to do: the ceiling.

Then today is a lovely warm sunny spring day. The perfect day to quickly and painlessly paint a ceiling... right? WRONG!

You see, the ceiling is a drop tiled ceiling. We had to remove the tiles one by one, roll the paint. Simple? Nope. The tiles aren't thick sturdy things, noooooo... they are basically that yellow fiber insulation that sheds and leaves you itchy. So here we were, removing the tiles oh so carefully and gently painting them. Only we made a huge mess! You see.... those tiles being the yellow insulation stuff didn't like being painted and the vinyl covering that makes up the outside of the tiles peeled off like a label. And it won't stick back down.

Now the ceiling is freshly painted, but all saggy and looks just awful we don't have the money right now to replace a whole roomful of tiles since we had to buy a new crib last night.

I felt like crying when we were done with the tiles. They were the last things to be done in the nursery. We saved them for last in case we didn't have enough time -- they honestly didn't NEED to be painted... we just figured that since everything else got fresh coats of paint we might as well do everything properly.

Ok, whine over.

I should be happy that everything is coming along nicely on the room. A few wrinkles are to be expected, right?
