Kyle and I were so excited to have a weekend in town (our first one in over a month!) to be able to get some of our bigger projects completed. While Kyle was down working away on our bathroom project, I tackled painting Emery's room and bathroom. I don't think many women who are 6 months pregnant do this, so I was very proud of myself for sticking it out and completing it. And don't worry we had the fan going and windows cracked for ventilation!
Here are the colors we are decorating the nursery in. Love how calming they are!
(It's a greenish blue, sometimes looks light aqua sometimes looks mint.)
Saturday I worked for 3 hours getting the bedroom and bathroom ceilings painted in a lighter shade. The original color was a khaki and we knew it would not look at that pretty together. This was by far the hardest part since I've never had much arm strength!
Sunday I spent all day getting the trim and walls done in the bedroom and bathroom... 2 coats each! We used the paint with primer in it to save some time since we were covering up yellow!
Can you tell I was tired? I would paint for a while, then lay down and nap for an hour then get to work again.
But it's done now and we love it. Next step is to paint & put up crown molding (we have it in our entire house except for that room!). We hope to get that done this weekend, it's coming together!
