Jon and I have just been all around super busy this past month and a half, but have been able to start on the nursery and I am just loving how it is all coming together.
Initially, my plan was to do some wall decals rather than paint, but Jon really wanted to paint the room, so I let him(for once) do as he pleased. We decided on a Modern Gray, it was a very subtle gray and it turned out great. It does just give the whole room a fresh and clean look. I had also originally planned to get curtains because the room does get a lot of sunlight all through the day, but we ended up finding some pull down blinds from Ikea that worked really well and in the perfect shade of Gray so we just went with those instead of the curtain route.
I wasn't sure what type of artwork I was going to have since I needed to keep it all neutral, but as I was clearing out the room to make way for baby I found these old line drawing animal postcards and thought this would be a perfect project. So, I ended up pulling out the old watercolors and painted the 4 prints. I have 3 hung up, the rhino, panda and turtles....still to sure if I am going with the lizard.
I also ended up making my own XO print, which I love! We found some wire baskets from At Home that work perfect as cubbies for our organizer shelf thing we already had and also storage for diapers, lotions, wipes and such over the changing table.
xoxo,
Jess
