Nursery is Painted!!!

Well, a big thank you to my mom for taking time to help paint. WOW. It looks fantastic! You're the best, Mom!

We painted the top of the room in a light lavender, and then taped and striped out the bottom in light green and lavender. The green is a little more "mint" colored than "sage" colored. We might end up repainting it, I'm not sure. The bedding and chair might not match. We'll just see!! Without the furniture in there, it looks great with those colors! So I'm hoping it works!

We also ordered our Crib and Dresser last week. After seeing the nursery painted, we ended up opting for white furniture. Our ceiling fan in the room is espresso, and after looking at how that fit in, we just felt white would be a better fit. So it's ordered!!! Next up: Ordering the window treatment, and shampooing the carpet in the room.

Dave also put up a chair rail in the room. He painted it and installed it himself- it looks FANTASTIC!!! He did such an awesome job! And to further help his running in the Husband of the Year category, he also installed a closet organizer system in the nursery walk-in! Rather than just having 1 shelf, there are now 4 hanging shelfs, 3 slider drawers, and then a stack of shelves for storage. It's perfect!

Here are some photos!!
