Project: Nursery

New Year - New Things....many new things to come in 2011!

I am not one much for new year's resolutions, reminiscing on the year past or making a big deal out of a change of date ;) So, with that being said, cheers to 2011....let's roll it out with

Project: Nursery!

Here is hubby and his audience patching the walls a couple weeks back.

*Note all our sample paint patches on the wall....I had a hard time deciding on a color!

Today is the big day. Sanding, priming and painting. The goal is to have it done today so we can set up the crib and move in the furniture tomorrow.


To Be Continued..........

And now, presenting the new color :) ............

Hubby just finished up now with a second coat (not pictured) and so hopefully, tomorrow morning, I will get the floor washed and then we'll move in the furniture!

I am very happy with the way the colors turned out. The ceiling fan we put up has a tinted globe so it gives the room more of a calming glow, rather than bright light, which I think will work well!

Looking for inspiration....

I am trying to pick colors for our nursery. I am not an interior decorator. I hate making decisions about decorating! If I see something I am don't think right away "that's it", then I don't like it!

So, we have no 'theme' for our nursery! I just want to pick some colors and we'll go from there! I finally decided, or so I thought, I'd do some kind of sage-y green color and find a chocolate colored floor rug since the floor in the nursery is a wood floor. So, we went this evening to look at colors and I found something I really liked, which was no where close to a green!

We bought a sample, got it home, and put some on the wall. I am not sure how I feel about it now. I think it is awful close in color to what I have the hallway painted in. But, we'll see when I add on the second coat.

The trim in the room is white and we cannot really afford to replace it, though I really despise the white trim! So I am hoping to find a color that will look nice with the white trim, or find a color that I can mesh with the trim if I were to paint that as well.

I want something different than your usual nursery colors and I am not finding much inspriation as I look online. I like warm, earthy tones and bold, bright tones. I am not into cold and pastel tones.

So, help me! Give me your ideas for a nursery design or colors. Or send me the places you look when you need inspiration for decorating a room in your home. PLEASE!
