Paint is on the Walls!

This is the beginning stages of one nice nursery! On Tuesday my mom, Lauren, Hector, and Nora Joy came over to help stripe the nursery. When my mom and I did the first stripe in the middle of thewall where the crib is I was not to sure about it. I loved the solid blue so much I was afraid that is would not be what I was looking for.

I text Matt about it and sent him a picture then called Lauren to come over and get her opinion. After much debate and hearing every one's opinion, we decided the stripes were a go but decided to space out the darker stripe a little bit.

My frustration level went high pretty quick because of all the measuring and then making sure you were taping a straight line. My family had done striping before but I guess when it is in your house you worry about it a little bit more. We finally got a system going of my mom measuring out the stripes, I would tape the stripes, and Lauren would begin to paint the stripes. I would get aggravated and have my mom come help me often, but in the end it was completely worth it. It looked amazing!

After a loaded day of staring at the walls my mom and I went fabric shopping to try and figure out what other fabrics I would use in the room. We went to Jo-Ann's and were successful. We then came back to my house and Matt was home. We got to reveal the room to him and he loved it! It is so much fun showing someone for the first time because it is the shock factor that you see in their face. It will be really fun to show someone at the end who has not seen anything through the process.
