We've been hard at work the last two weeks on the nursery and it's starting to look more inviting than the dugeon it had been for the last 2+ years since we got married. I removed every evidence of the old and worn out trim and primed every wall in preparation or the new paint job. It had taken us some time to decide on just the right color, but we made the decision and moved forward and we are glad we did. We sure hope the little guy likes his new digs - I know I sure do!
BEFORE:
PRIMED WALLS:
Here is a shot of us testing out the paint color we eventually decided to use. The wall color is Benjamin Moore Navajo White. And you'll notice we've decided to paint the ceiling too in Benjamin Moore Iced Green (1/4 shade)! We had seen some others do it and Stephanie's mom suggested. We bought a few foam poster board and painted them so that we could mount them in the room. We recommend that you try it next time you have a couple of final paint colors picked out because it really helps you get a feel for the how they will look under your lighting conditions.
AFTER:
It's hard to get a sense of the true colors we chose, but we'll be posting more progress photos soon when there is some sun streaming in the windows to help showcase things. Oh and doesn't that baby bump look good! Only 3 more months to go! I've got to install the new trim and crown molding next and then it's onto putting together a crib. Lots to do for sure!
