The nursery is painted!

The nursery got painted today! I have to say that in passive voice because if I said "We painted the nursery today," it would be a lie. Jen and Justin came over and painted with Kelly while I went to the grocery store and made everyone dinner so that I wasn't in the same room as the paint fumes. We used the good-for-the-environment, no-VOC paint, but still figured that being in the same room with the fresh scent wouldn't be condusive to creating the next Einstein.

Anyway, here's a picutre of the room as it looks now.



Due to bad lighting and the fact that we used Kelly's cell phone to take the picture, it looks all yellow/green and weird (our camera batteries are in need of recharging). In reality, it looks far more like this color:



I found this picture on line a while ago and we both liked the way the gray walls looked with the bright whites and yellows, so we tried to match it for our nursery.

I'm so excited to be working on the baby's room and to have it painted the perfect color! I feel just that much more ready to welcome her to the world! Thanks again to Jen and Justin for their awesome, awesome help today!

my favorite part about your newly painted nursery is the dog-shaped accessories.

I think you should keep them there when the baby is borned.

I can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks!
