Making a Room for Baby

Scott has done such an amazing job! He's been working every night (sometimes until almost 4 in the morning!) to get the nursery painted. I was really, really sad to discover that I'm not supposed to help him paint; I wanted to help him, for one thing, but I wanted to have a hand in getting the room ready. I know it was probably erring on the side of caution, but I'd much rather be safe than sorry.

As a reminder, this is what the room looked like before all of this started, when it was a guest room/my craft room.

Just to the right of the dresser is where the closet is now.

It was a sad day when we had to get rid of the green we loved so much, but we just didn't like it for a nursery. Scott had a doozy of a time priming it, I think.

He got this banner from work. They were going to throw it away, but to him, it looked like a great drop cloth.

Introducing "Oyster White" to the room. It's not really white......but whatever.

I really love the color. It's just what I had in mind! Now I can't wait to get her stuff in there!

I love this picture.

Kitter hasn't been sure about the whole thing. She lurks around outside the room and on the stairs.

I love your not-white-oyster- white!! And Kitter's expression *L*
What a great job he did! I painted Sissy's nursery myself...only because I knew if I waited it would never get done. I was putting finishing touches on her nursery while I was having labor pains *L*
I cant wait to see the progress on your baby girl's!!

The room looks beautiful, how fun for you both to be involved. Your photos look lovely and I'm so happy to hear all is going well.

Boy, you scared me for a minute there. I thought my granddaughter's name was going to be Chevy Falldrive.
Honey, I'm loving the nursery. I can't wait to see it. This is starting to look very real.
