Painting the Nursery

Yes I know Monday Manicures is supposed to be today's post, But we aren't painting nails when we can paint WALLS!

Michelle has come home for a 10 day spring break. We were sorting through her room, she wanted to set Matt's crib up, I told her we couldn't do that until we got the room repainted. so She has taken it upon herself to repaint what was her room then was my office. You might remember I painted this room just last September after Michelle left for college.

We took down the shelves, and patched the screw holes. We are not yet certain how we are going to reset the room, so we felt better to not be "locked in" by where the shelves are at.

While I was working Michelle started priming the room. She was never fond of the purple, so as you can see...

She was very happy to have it covered up!

We started off with a blue stripe where all of our stripes have been in the past.

Then we started the yellow on the bottom.

Then Michelle and i got a very creative idea for the door...

(that you will have to wait to see)

After looking over the yellow, and then the door, We started thinking the top of the wall yellow MIGHT be too bright. so we decided to go with all blue.

I know this picture the blue looks more intense than the door. But, I assure you it is the same beautiful baby blue that is on the door. we got a lot of snow last night and this is intense from the glare off the snow. where the other pictures were taken at night.

We still need to get another quart of the blue before we can continue this painting. But we made a HUGE dent in this project for one day's worth of work!
