Our Baby Nursery

As I promised, I am finally posting pictures of our baby boy's nursery!  It took a lot of compromising with my husband, he thought everything I was picking out was just too girly.  Once he talked to a friend of his who also just had a baby boy and he said, "just let her do what she wants, he's a baby, it's all free game" it became easier to compromise....or not have to anymore!  haha  Well, he'll be here in about 7 weeks and I think he's just going to adore his new room.

It took us about 2-3 days to paint the room and that included the accent wall, which was pretty easy to paint...just required lots of tape!  I also created 4 pieces of custom artwork and bought a few pieces that I fell in love with.

Smell that paint!

I painted my bedroom and bathroom this past weekend, with a little help from my husband.  I started the bedroom on Saturday and decided to prime....for some reason I let the Lowe's guy talk me into using oil based primer.  WOW, did I make a mistake listening to him!  It stank SO bad, I had a headache all day and had to sit outside for like 2 hours after only spending about 20 minutes painting! 

Anyways, I finished up the room on Sunday after letting the primer air out all day Saturday.  Here's a picture of the new bathroom and I'll post pictures of the bedroom once I have new new curtains made and installed!  By the way...I have been looking for a place to hang my capiz shell lampshade since we moved in and I finally found a place, as you'll see in the pic.  It really makes our bathroom seem fancy!
