Nursery, Phase 1

I'm finally getting to start on the nursery! I think some people have panicked a little for me when I tell them that the baby's room hasn't even been started. :) But that is no longer the truth. I began painting yesterday and will hopefully be finished either tomorrow or Friday. Then it will be time to start decorating! I'm posting a few pictures to give you an idea of what's going on in the room. Her room has two closets that used to have accordian doors in front of them. But we've taken the doors down and are going to use that space. One side will house a dresser and her clothes and the other side will have a changing table and the supplies for that. And I'm sure there will be toys on both sides! There are two colors I'm using for painting. I picked something that would match the red, black, and white theme without being one of those colors. So the green is supposed to make you think of grass or leaves, since that is what you would find around ladybugs!
The inside of the closets is a darker green called Key Lime and the other walls in the room are a shade lighter than that (although I don't remember what the color is called). The only wall that is unfinished is the wall that the crib is going to be on. It's going to be painted the Key Lime color as well, as an accent color.


I will definitely keep posting pictures of the process, as well as the final outcome!

Very cool. Hopefully the green will be very soothig. I can't wait to see the finished product! I'm 39 weeks today. I sure thought he'd be here by now. I hope Karys hangs in there until her room is perfect!

loving the green! I did it for my little girl too and still love it every time I walk in the room! I can't wait to see the finished room with all the decor. Oh, and Kudos to you for doing VBS this week! AMAZING!

About Me

My photo
I've been a wife for over seven years, a mommy of one for 2 and a half years, and a mommy of two as of 12/28/10! :) I married Ryan on July 26, 2003. We always said we wanted to have kids sometime around our fifth anniversary. The closer that time came, the more we started thinking we still needed another year. However, God held us to our original plan because Karys Elizabeth was born July 30, 2008...4 days after our 5th anniversary. :) I quit my job teaching kindergarten to take on the much more rewarding "career" of stay-at-home mom. There are some days that are hard, but I love it just the same. God surprised us again in May 2010 when we found out we were having baby #2. I went through the entire pregnancy expecting him to go past his January 9, 2011 due date since his sister was overdue. However, Zane Elliott surprised us by making his debut on December 28, 2010, and we wouldn't have it any other way! Now that we have "one of each" we could be "done" with our family, but hopefully that won't be the case. :)
