Nursery Update

For the past couple months we've been slowly working on the nursery.  It started off with ripping off the wallpaper, sanding down the walls, retexturing the walls, priming everything, and adding sealant on top of the drywall since the wallpaper tore off down to the drywall.  Doug did all that "fun" stuff.  :)

Nursery before

After all that was done and the carpet protecting materials were lay down, the painting begun.  It was a process in itself to decide what colors to use, but we're both fond of "natural" earth tones, so we narrowed it down by those options.  We (obviously) had a theme going with Monkey, so that's how we ended up with green and brown.  It encompasses the monkey theme, earth tones, and is gender neutral.  We've finally finished the painting process, have the wall decals hung, and have put in a new ceiling fan with a dimming light option.  Krisdeena is particularly fond of the dimmer.  At this point it's a matter of hanging the blinds and valance, applying the outlet covers, and hanging a few more decorations on the walls that we made ourselves. 

 



First coat done



Of course, putting the furniture together as well, more pictures to come as we progress.  The hope is to have the nursery complete by September, and so far we're ahead of schedule.  With only 8 weeks to go, the time sure does seem to by flying by!
