Painting the Baby's Room

We picked up paint today from Lowe's and got right to painting the baby's room. We actually were gonna wait another month and wait for some nice weather to have the windows open and sun shinning and all, but we are a little bit more of a time schedule. The room was kinda of a mess this past month as we were taking the spare bed and book stand out of there. Its a good thing we haven't had anyone want to come look at the house. But now we do have a showing scheduled for Sunday March 22nd, so we'd like to get the room somewhat organized and get it starting to look like a baby's room. Its kind of a small room, so maybe it will be even better presentation when it is shown as a baby's room, rather than a spare bedroom or a room to stock pile crap, as what its been looking like this past month.

Tony also brought down the crib from the attic so we can also put that together, maybe this weekend. We have the changing table in the garage and will probably bring that in as well. Hopefully have it looking somewhat as a baby's room in progress, when we have the showing.

Here are some pictures of before, during and after. Also once the green dries, Ill be adding large yellow circles onto the walls, maybe about 40 inches in diameter. I may also do dark brown ones as well to draw in some of the dark brown. You can also see the curtain valence hanging. The printed thing hanging on the step stool is actually the crib sheet that I used for a color swatch for the curtains I made and for the paint on the walls. So you can see a close up of the bedding to get a feel for the theme of this room.

Nicole also gave me an idea to try to make my own mobile. Which I think would be awesome to make one of Circles and Rings to match this. For wall decor, I think I might try to make this one, but with circles and rings and to match his colors. Will definitely beat their price of $150 that they want for theirs!!! And maybe also a smaller one above the crib to match.
