Nursery Painting

The nursery is painted! Oh I am so excited! It looks absolutely fabulous. We went with "Friendly Gray" in eggshell from Sherwin Williams. It's a light, soft gray that I think will look really great as a back drop for Baby's furniture.

In our condo, we have 3 bedrooms...the master bedroom, the guest bedroom, and the other bedroom. The other bedroom has been many things to us over the past 3 years. It started as a junk room, a place to put all our stuff as we were moving in and trying to figure out what the heck we were doing.

Next, John convinced me to transform the room into a Man Cave. You can read more about that here. Yep, we painted the walls a dark blue and set up a place where he could hang out and do manly stuff.

Then, for about 6 months, John's sister moved into the other bedroom and John's cousin moved into the guest bedroom. I don't have any pics, but the walls stayed blue and we just moved all of John's stuff to other parts of the house while his sister was staying with us.

John's sister and cousin moved out in June 2011. Since June was the month that we decided to start trying to expand our family, we decided to leave the room empty in hopes that one day in the not-so-distant future it would become a nursery.

Since you already know that I'm pregnant, it shouldn't come as a surprise to find out that that's exactly what happened. So this past week, we got the ball rolling by hiring Jorge to come in and paint the nursery.

Jorge was a total rockstar and knocked it all out in one evening! He used one coat of primer and then two coats of paint on the walls. On the trim he used "White Dove" by Benjamin Moore (just some leftover white paint we had).

Now that the room is painted we can starting putting the furniture together and creating a nice space for Baby. It's so exciting! :)
