Baby's Room

Well seeing as we are only 2 months away from having a family of 3 we decided to start on the baby's room. It's a work in progress and is taking longer than the weekend we set aside for it before Aidan started his new job but non the less we are tackling it.

This is our blank canvas to work with. Thanks to our interior decorator/designer, Aunty Beulah we were able to spend an hour at Benjamin Moore and come away with a plan.

Step 1. Paint the top of the walls green. I'm not going to lie, seeing the green paint with builders beige did not appeal to me one bit.

Ahhhh, the wallpaper. Now things are looking like they fit together a little better.

Note to all of you out there thinking about wallpapering......Don't Do It, or least make sure you really want to do it. Because wallpaper is so expensive we measured every inch of the wall we wanted to paper so we didn't have waste any money. Guess what......you end up wasting a lot of wallpaper because the pattern matches up every 8 feet, so we had to order more paper :o( Then we realized we still didn't order enough so we ordered some more and it's going to take 3 weeks to come in.

Joel came and put up the moulding between the paint and paper. He also framed in the window and I think it looks awesome.

The mouldings and baseboards still need a coat of white paint as well as we need to paint the window, door and closet door. I will continue to blog the progress of this room we thought would take a weekend and is now going to take us a couple of weeks.
