LifewiththeCreature: Creating the Nursery Part 1

It has about three months since I did any blogging and that is mainly due to pure laziness. No way around it...this little boy in my belly is sucking out all my motivation. Or at least I blame him so I don't have to take responsibility.

Well, at this point I am six months and ready to create his nursery for him. It is probably the most exciting thing about this whole experience!!! (Yes, it is magical to create life but come on having the opportunity to make a new room...so fun!)

I am going with a yellow, gray, and white color scheme with accents of anything. The yellow was chosen because we already painted the room a very pale yellow. White is always fresh and classic and gray is pretty great too. So here is the first installment of baby boy's nursery creation.

My first step in the nursery was making the chevron wall. I love chevron!

I used a bright white to subtly contrast with the pale yellow and the stripes are slightly crooked and uneven.

I wanted to go for a whimsical and funky look rather then uniform. Painting was the logical first step because I am an extremely messy painter but the carpet was still present so I could go crazy.

We made this house our home about a year and a half ago. The master bedroom was remodeled and the flooring was done in about 80% of the house. The two extra bedrooms were left as storage/whatever rooms until now. The baby's room was the catch-all room, so I cleaned it out and we had wood floors put in. It looks so good!

At this point I have a desk that I need to sand, prime and paint; it will be the main dresser. I started the project but my sander broke so I am waiting for the new one to arrive. After the desk is put in, I will start hanging and organizing the ridiculousness that is the closet.
