The Newell Family: Nursery

The nursery has officially started. We moved all the bedroom furniture out of the room to start. Well Brandon moved everything while I supervised. We put up paint swatches on the wall to try and decide on a color. We knew we wanted a pale shade of pink, but who know how many different shades of pale pink there was. We finally came to a decision and went to Home Depot and purchased the paint, painting supplies, and drape to cover the carpet. We made sure to mix in the no chemical solution in the paint so there would be no odours and it would not be harmful to the baby. We came home and put the tarp on the floor and proceeded to tape the room off. The next day Brandon started painting. I did not help as I could not stand the smell and thought it would be better to just take pictures. Once the first coat finished drying Brandon painted the second coat. The color turned out absolutely amazing and we both love it. We also bought a zebra print chair rail to go around the border of the room. We might put a hot pink strip around the zebra chair rail, but are undecided yet. So officially the room is painted. Our next step is we are having the carpets cleaned and will then put up the zebra print and start building the furniture. I cannot wait to see this room come together for our two beautiful girls. I will post more pictures as we progress, but here is the start of them. The final coat of pink is hard to see, but trust me it is beautiful.
