Officially Nesting!

Finally, after months of "planning," we have taken the big step toward decorating Wiggles' nursery! My heroes - Asa and Blair - worked diligently this week and this weekend to get the painting done. Although we purchased the No/Low VOC paint, the fumes still bother me and so I only get to pop in for a couple minutes here and there to check on the progress.

Below are two "before" pictures of the room. While the flowers and dragonflies are cute, the blue was very dingy and really sucked the light out of the room. (Editor's note: when we bought the house, this was, oddly, the only room that was actually painted a color other than white/beige -- except for a few dark brown walls in a couple bathrooms.)




Goodbye, blue! Here are my two heroes priming the room.



The real work started yesterday when Blair and Asa began the actual painting. As you can see, we chose a two-toned yellow and green theme. It looks great with the pictures from the book (Guess How Much I Love You). I can't wait to see it with the artwork.

We still need to get a new door for the room as well as a new closet organizer and new closet doors. Today we (Asa and Blair mostly) are going to purchase, paint, and potentially install the chair rail as well as paint the baseboards. We are so excited that it is finally coming together! We'll post more pics as we make progress!
