Baby's room

Matt and I became determined to finish the painting in the baby's room. We worked literally all weekend long! I can't believe it, but we are finished!! Now, I have to accessorize. The room is not finished, but I'm still going to update with some progress pictures. We had a great time painting together. Talk about quality time with your spouse! We were so proud!! Below are pics!
We had to put a coat of primer on the walls to begin. This is the first white stripe.


We started the navy at the bottom of the walls. Wow, that navy took 3-4 coats of paint!!

I'm measuring the second stripe along the wall.

We had to paint over the tape so it wouldn't bleed onto the next color. Matt is such a professional!

Look at that hot painter with the mask and the Christmas socks!!

Saturday morning, we woke up and started taking off the tape! It worked!!
The finished five stripes on a very textured wall!!!

We got the glider and ottoman in on Friday. We still need a lot of "decorating"
His crib with no bedding against the wallsYeah we're done painting!!! Everyone should try this at home!

I can't believe you are done painting! That means it's getting that much closer until we get to meet little Roman! The "five stripes" look awesome.
