Getting the Nursery Ready

Over the weekend we began to get the nursery started. Well- I should say Phil, Terry, and Geoff did. Although, I did help paint some trim around the doors. Other than that, I just supervised :)

We had picked the paint color out a couple of weeks ago. I bought a few different samples to choose from and I am actually really happy with the purple that I chose.

Friday night Phil and I went to buy the new baseboards and the paint. We were trying to have everything ready to make it go as smooth as possible. But, you always have to make a few trips back to Lowes. Always.

Saturday morning Terry came over and they began to paint all the walls purple except for one, they painted solid white. Geoff would be coming Sunday to do the purple stripes on the walls. They did the baseboards as well.

Then Saturday night I painted around the door trims and window seal and Phil took off all of the doors so that on Sunday they could sand them and then paint them white.

Sunday took another full day. But, glad and happy to say that the painting is finished! And I love it! I am excited to decorate over the next couple of days. Well- I guess I should say get the crib put up and bedding on her bed, curtains hung etc. I do not have a lot of decor going up. I probably wont post pictures until I am completely done with the room. Probably wont be until after my shower since I will be getting a few things there.

But, for now… it’s painted… :)

 

       

Last week I let Payton make a painting to  hang in her little sisters room. Marla did this with Parker when she was pregnant with Grace and I thought it was a great idea.

She did the ALL ON HER OWN. I did not help her at all… So I guess I am saying I am impressed…

Turquoise is my accent color. I will have a couple of things that are turquoise to add a little more color. There is a little turquoise in her baby bedding.
