The Nursery

We're having a baby!

We found out in July 2010 that we're expecting our first child at the end of March 2011. We're beyond thrilled!

Of course immediately, I started planning the nursery.

---

We knew we wanted more of a gender neutral nursery. Neither of us enjoy painting so we knew when it was time for baby #2, we wouldn't want to have to paint 2 rooms. So we got to designing and came up with something awfully cute!

Before:

This room was just an empty room. It housed some junk we hadn't gone through since moving in and a cat litter box. We eventually moved the cat litter to the basement.
The doors were wood and I painted them earlier in the summer and replaced the handles to Oil Rubbed Bronze.

After:

These are the final alphabet letters. I painted them 5 different colors. Pink, purple, tan, green, and blue.

What We Did:

We painted the bottom 3/4 of the room Sherwin Williams- Neutral Ground and the top 1/4 and ceiling Sherwin Williams- Mindful Gray. After we (and when I say we, I mean Kevin) painted, Kevin and his dad installed the flat chair rail that was painted white.
