When we found out we were pregnant people wanted to know a couple things. 1) Sex 2)When we were due 3)What color were we going to paint the nursery?

We didn’t know the answer to 1, Election Day was 2, and PAINT? Who paints a nursery these days? Let alone, pick out the colors in advance, a baby can’t even see like us grown ups for weeks…. We laughed at 3 the most(even more so, cause it made it to the top 3!).

Now, fast forward, a year or so later, and the kid is finaly getting her own room. And paint!? Why yes, we suddenly do care, it’s amazing what a little time can do. She’s gonna have her own room (My crafty bits and I have been moved to the garage), she’s gonna need some color!

Time was spent in the paint store stealing samples,  then we had some discussions about color,  finally I snuck back to the paint store and bought my three favorites (sorry papa)!

Aquarian Sky (light blue).

Cactus Dahlia (sour pink).

Sea King (tealy blue).

I could tell you how I feel about paint names and their absurdity, but I’ll save it for later.

Our “map” to paint, the boys (my husband and his brother) figured out the ratio’s, borrowed a giant ruler (taller than me), and drew the painting lines on the walls  for me to follow up with tape & actual paint!

Pre-Paint, the room is preped!

The first two coats are on! One more to go…. will post that as soon! I hope!
