Nursery

We (ok, mostly Ross) have been working diligently on the nursery recently. I had originally wanted a chair rail with vertical stripes on the bottom to create a classic look. However, we did not have the correct saw and it was looking like too much work for such a limited time of enjoyment. While I was visiting Ohio for the baby showers I saw an episode of Color Splash on HGTV that inspired me. Why not do horizontal stripes - they are more modern and sophisticated?! All we would need is some paint and tape, right? Erroneous! We had to get a laser level and decide on colors and a pattern, which took a lot of time surprisingly. We chose the lightest shade of green in the bedding as the base and then used leftover paint from other areas of the house to use as accents. The results are...Ross is now a pro with the laser level and the room is amazing! Now we only have a few decorations and lamps to hang and then it will be done!

Step 1: lots of taping!

Skipped the documenting of a few steps - this is after we moved the furniture into place

The finished product - Love the glider...thanks Nonni and Bompa!


This one shows the colors better

  1. Wow, the room looks great! The stripes gave the room a nice pop and is versatile enough that it looks cute and nursery like with the crib but won't look like a nursery if there isn't baby furniture in there.
