The nursery begins

Still have a TON to do, but we got the blah-white walls painted a nice, neutral taupe/beige on Saturday. It's Benjamin Moore Stone Hearth (984). My friend helped me paint, but even so, my back and calves are STILL reeling haha.

Ordered the Graco Stanton crib in black over the weekend along with a Sealy crib mattress. Hope to order the stroller today. Ahhhhhhhhh!

Before:



After:



FYI that bookcase was Ryan's when he was little. We plan to paint it black(ish) to match the crib. Also have a 3-drawer dresser that was mine when I was little that we'll also be painting and using as the changing table, too. Eeek!

Have to figure out window treatments and crib bedding. Thinking of a gray-blue? Or maybe going with the teal and brown trend that is so popular at the moment? Guess will have to see what's out there. Oh and will be putting in a nice ceiling fan. Our whole house upstairs has 90s-dated brass fixtures at the moment...been slowly replacing them.

    I love the color. Its neutral so you could go with anything as far as colors/theme and get away with it!

    That was my thinking too :) Almost went with a gray-blue that we actually have in our kitchen...but thought better of it. Now to find some cute and affordable bedding!
