After we found out what we were having about 2 weeks ago, I started on the nursery right away. First trip after the doctor's office was to Home Depot to buy paint! We picked up a variety - Green Energy (PPU10-3), Mosaic Blue (PPU15-4), and Bleached Linen (PPU5-9). All of the colors are Behr paint - I swear by it! I took pictures with my phone - not the best and the colors look much brighter in the picture than they really are! I swear!!
This is the east and south walls of the nursery. The window is on the south wall. I primed everything including the trim. It was that golden color that was so well loved in the nineties. BLECK! The chair I got through Scholastic.com with my earned points so it cost nothing out of pocket!! The pillow I got for $7 at Ross. Great prices are great things there!
The stripes are on the west wall and were a must! They really add something and are very simple to do with a laser level, a ruler and painter's tape! I did get a little overly excited and assembled the crib and brought the swing and bouncer up from storage. Cambry has been practicing with her baby dolls - so precious! She is going to be an awesome big sister:)
The closet is one of my favorite things right now. I know it is far from complete, but I love the blue framed by white and green. The white dresser and changing station really pop against it! I primed and painted the dresser the same color as the trim. I am in search of handles for it, just haven't made a decision yet. Look for those in a later post;)
The only thing missing from this nursery is the linens and the baby! We have even started a diaper collection! We are definitely excited for our little bundle to come join us. Now if only we could decide on a name....
