A Happy New Year. A Happy New Us.

We spent our new year painting little one's nursery! I struggle with making decisions, so selecting paint was a painstaking mission. Luckily my husband is the type to commit, with no questions. So, we committed. And I couldn't be happier!






We chose Behr paint in Igloo (top color) and Manhattan Mist (middle color). I knew I wanted a striped wall in nugget's wall and we decided on grey and navy before we knew the sex. The colors seemed neutral and calming and I felt like these colors could grow with our baby. With a little help from our moms, we put our painting pants on and went to work.

Bye, bye beige!



Somehow, I think Nate wasn't really this happy to be painting...

The "Igloo" color was a little scary at first... I was worried it was too white, too sterile, too hospitally. But once we got all four walls painted, we tackled the stripes. It helps having a husband who is 6'7, taping the ceiling was a snap!






I love the finished product!
