In other news, we painted the nursery this weekend!! Brandon was such a champ, he did almost the entire room since technically I'm not supposed to be around paint much.
For the parts of the trimming that I did, I wore a stupid facemask that made me breathe my own hot burrito breath. I was NOT a fan. So I volunteered to leave in the middle to get another gallon of paint when we ran out... and came back with ice cream. Go figure.
The color is called "Toasted White" by Glidden. I am beyond happy with the results! Even though it is still very light, the grey really makes the trim pop & gives the room an airy, soothing vibe. I will post before & after pics soon! Also, thanks to all for the comments & suggestions about the nursery, I loved reading all of your advice! I definitely noticed a consensus about the changing table being unnecessary.. which is good since I already purchased this cabinet to use.
I feel like I am getting very far ahead in nursery decorations - which is totally my style since I've also been listening to Christmas music for about a month now. Fa LA LA LA LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! :)

I just started following your blog. First of all, congrats to you and your husband! Looks like you are both excited and you are a beautiful pregnant woman. Second of all, if you haven't already, you should defintely check out www.ontobaby.com It's awesome!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Hi! I recently started following your blog after finding a pic of your cool chalkboard on Pinterest. Congratulations on your bump, what a great time for you and your hubby! You look really well in your pics btw.
ReplyDeleteRe the changing table, my friend had an attachment that went over the top of the cot which effectively used wasted space. Then when the baby is in the cot sleeping, you just take it off and put it underneath. Great space saver! I love the grey colour for the nursery you chose.
A friend recommended your blog to me a few weeks ago. As a result I was inspired to start my own baby blog... How fun to track your pregnancy and prepare for the little one's arrival! I'm a little behind you at 9 weeks. I wish you all the best :)
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! I love that your baby is the size of a Chipotle Burrito because that's what I had for dinner last night. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the whole nursery put together.
We used Olympics VOC free paint for our nursery. You can have a color from another brand color matched to it. But it's a good option for you and your little one being around the paint.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how it comes along!
Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteWe put a giant giraffe in our son's room 1-because she (I named her Zoe) was beautiful and 2-because we got the giant leaf from ikea and didn't want to go too jungle-y. This is the one we have: http://www.melissaanddoug.com/stuffed-giraffe
ReplyDeleteps: I love both your blogs! I found you on Pinterest :)
