The Nursery!




I almost forgot! The Nursery! Jason and I spent an ENTIRE weekend painting the nursery. And we say ENTIRE, we mean the whole darn thing! What we thought would be a simple project, but after 2 coats of primer, 2 coats of color, and 3 coats of edging, we decided we were glad to have chosen a neutral color because we are done painting for a LONG time! We are very happy with the results!
The beautiful curtains, window seat, and crib bedding were all handmade by Grandma Tidball! She did an amazing job...much better and more meaningful than anything I could have bought in a store. We are thinking of painting a tree on the crib wall and hanging wooden shelves that look like branches to put her books and stuffed animals on (we saw the idea in Pottery Barn kids). The dresser/changing table piece is set to arrive in a week or two and then we'll be all set!
