Tape and Paint (repeat 3 times)

Finally! We get to paint the baby room. One more step taken in this journey of becoming parents. Starting a few months ago we discussed what kinds of designs and colors to choose. We didn’t want to just paint it baby blue and call it good (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Mollie really likes the color brown and it goes well with blue so we decided to start off there and see what we could figure out next.
Well as you can see we decided to go with a dark blue and light blue argyle pattern with brown stripes. If you ever decide to paint any sort of pattern just be prepared to tape, tape and tape some more.
Was it all worth it? Yep, I’d say so. Would we do it again? Maybe…I guess it just depends on what idea we start off with and where it takes us.

Its kind of weird going into the room now...obviously he isnt here just yet so it could be anyone's baby room. But slowly and surely its starting to take shape and feel more like its a room that belongs in our house. Soon it will be a room we will no doubt be visiting a lot...to change diapers, feed or just hold.

Going back to the whole design thing. We're not quite done yet. We still have to hang the blinds, figure out some sort of curtain and decide whether or not to make a valance. Also, I put together the changing table and the chest of drawers. We plan on putting his name on one of the walls. A lot rooms that we saw had this so its not really unique, but I think it just starts to make it even more real, that he is actually coming soon and that this is his room.

Finally, one other thing that I think would be cool is a quote on the wall....not sure if I want to paint it or not though since we have those lame textured walls...but if anyone has any suggestions for cool quotes or verses that would be good for a boys room...let me know. Im open to suggestion.
