When to Ready the Room!!!

So- second home study is the 10th. My CW said she will walk through and do the safety check- gave us a list of what to lock up, what to stock for first aid, etc.She said we did not need to have the room and crib ready at that visit- but I am wondering when? How soon is too soon to start with this? We are moving our office to the basement and using that room for a nursery (we are taking 0-1 yr concurrent planning) and we need to clean the closet, move the stuff, paint, and buy furniture! I don't want to wait until the last minute- I've started picking up basic things like bottles and some baby gear, but I really want to do this room. My DH keeps saying too soon, too soon. I think he is in denial and doesn't want to lose his office. But when should you have your room ready to go?
