Four weeks of work, four coats of paint and two happy parents-to-be ... the nursery is finished!
It all started with one sample paint color that quickly turned into ten. Soon, Chad and I resorted to the flip of a coin--tails for gray and heads for blue (ie: shade No. 7). We ventured back to Sherwin Williams, and Chad worked all night turning Pottery Barn green into "monsoon" gray. Next came decor, which I'll admit I had been planning since day two of being pregnant. We placed the crib with the Dwell Baby bedding, installed the Ikea light fixture and switch and hung the Flensted mobile (with hopes that Baby Tyler doesn't have a bird phobia). Chad had the artistic inspiration for the art panels ... a good use for several of those sample paint colors. While waiting for the draperies and recliner/glider to arrive, Chad continued his daddy-duties by building shelves in the closet. It all came together almost as seamlessly as a do-it-yourself decorating show.
