The making of a pretty cute room

Just like names, Chris and I have had the nursery painting scheme picked out for years. We always knew that if we had a girl, we wanted to paint our chocolate brown room with a pink stripe, and if we had a boy it would have a blue stripe.

Over time, the idea evolved with input from everyone involved. Chris and I picked out the blue together, he used his analytical engineering skills to map out the stripes, and my parents came up with the idea of a contrasting/opposite colored wall and the space between the blue and white stripes.

Here's the progression of the nursery so far. JJ has one stylin' room that required lots of hard work by Daddy, Grandma, and Grandpa. Mommy just supervised for the most part!

Patience and precision were needed to get the stripes taped off properly.

The stripes took two tries to get totally right and without flaws, but eventually they turned out perfect!

Redoing the stripes on Day 2!

Beautiful!

The JJ letters were a wonderful gift from Grandma and Grandpa. They match the room and bedding absolutely perfectly!

The room has begun to be outfitted with wonderful furniture as gifts from the grandparents! I love just going in the room and sitting. I think JJ is going to love it!

Next up is some impressive drapery plans by my mom and aunt. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
