Our Little Boy's Room

I can't believe it, the nursery is finally complete. A few weeks ago, Paul's mom (Terry) graciously came to help with painting. Little did they know, they were in for a challenging weekend. Before Terry came Paul patched up some holes with Spackle and primed the walls. We wanted to make the room colorful and since we couldn't decide on just one color we decided to use four. I have always liked the look of stripes so we decided to paint the top half of the wall a solid color: sage green, aka willow wind, and the bottom half in a striped pattern consisting of the colors light blue, aka surf spray, orange, aka sassy peach, and sage green.


Here is a picture of Paul being creative with his painting techniques.



Here is Terry putting tape on the walls to paint the stripes.


Terry and Paul are a little frustrated because when they pulled off the tape for the stripes patches of paint and primer came off as well. What a huge pain!


In the middle of the wall we decided to put a chair rail in the color of yellow, aka shoreline. In this picture Paul is frustrated, yet again, because he is trying to nail up the trim and the nails keep bending. Eventually it all worked out.


This is the finished product. This room looks so cute! A huge thank you to Paul and Terry for working all weekend to create this adorable room for our little baby boy.

Here are some pictures of Paul putting together the crib and glider. He's such a handy man!





This is what the nursery looks like finally complete with furniture and all. We haven't decided how to decorate the walls but are thinking of a cute bug theme.




Now all that's left if to add a cute baby boy and everything will be complete.
