We decided to paint the room a light pink, that was recommended by Serena & Lily to match the bedding. The ceiling is actually a lighter shade of pink. To start our argyle design, we drew a grid pattern using the level and chalk lines.
More taping and taping and taping! We ended up using 3 roles of the blue tape!!!
So proud, and he should be! What a great job Brian:) Of course, I helped!!!
Next we painted the inside of the "diamonds" a green color.
Then we peeled the blue painters tape off. I finally felt like we were making progress!
More of the green.
The whole wall 1/3 of the way through!
This was the TRICKY part - several days of discussion and thought as to best go about doing the white lines to create the argyle pattern. We decided on the laser level, then a layer of regular tape (the brown color) with a layer of blue painter's tape on each side of that (a total of 3 lines of tape, for each line, each direction). Next, we peeled the brown tape off from between the two lines of blue painter's tape and FINALLY, painted the section white . . . this to some TIME! and patience:)
More of the lines. . .
Same process, other direction . . . another night!
Finally, we were finished! We spent a long, long, long time, standing, and staring at the beautiful wall!
Finished:)
The curtains - well, I actually ordered the fabric from Serena and Lily and made them myself - no pattern! I wanted the fabric to match the bedding and, to add a few more shades of pink. I painted the picture to the left of the window on canvas, using a damask stencil that matches the bedding design! And look at the pretty chandelier!
The crib against the wall. I want to crawl in it and sleep! And, you can see the white sheepskin rug on the floor. I think the dog likes it the most!
Just like I imagined! Hope the little girl likes it!
The nightmare chandalier - looks beautiful but took FOREVER to install b/c of all the old wiring in our house . . . won't ask for that again for a few years!!!
Now, we are waiting on a green swivel glider, and ottoman, to arrive. We also need to purchase a nightstand and a lamp of some sort. I've decided that can be a weekend project with mom because I think my husband needs, and deserves, a break after that!!!
I'll keep you posted on the nusery, and me. 30 weeks down, 10 to go. We are scheduled for our final 3d/4d ultraound on February 12!
