The Nursery - Part 1

Ok, so you have been very patient. You may have been wondering, "How will they do the nursery if they don't know the gender of the baby?" Well, it was tough to decide, but we (Courtney) came up with a plan. Here it is from start to finish...

We started with a blank canvas of purple?! Ha ha. This room used to be our office/ catch-all room.

Courtney started by picking a R&H Baby No-VOC, Eco-friendly paint. The color she chose was a cool "Cloud Blue." After some cutting-in and taping, we set out on our first coat. The purple turned out to be stubborn (like me) and we needed to do a second coat to make it disappear.

Courtney didn't want to be photographed, but I did manage to get the back of her head in this one ;-)

However, with me...there is no shame in my game. Inside-out pants and sleeveless shirt! Working hard for the baby!

The finished product of the base-color looked something like this. Here is the crib also, courtesy of Courtney's brother, Todd.

This was done in early November. But we weren't finished yet! See Part 2.
