workin' on the weekend

happy monday y'all!
i hope you all had a lovely weekend.

we finally got started on baby girl's room. :)
so excited to get this thing put together. . . 6 weeks and counting peeps!!

so here is what we started with:

it's basically a square room with no closet.
it does sport a nice big window which i plan to dress up and draw attention to. 

the walls were a tannish flat paint.
which, if you've read me for long, you know i hate flat paint.
it is a world of evil for a house with kids.

also it was sporting 1980's wood trim {as is most of the rest of the house}. 

so we got started saturday evening and i finished the last coat on the trim today.

ignore all the junk in the  middle of the room.
the color is dolphin fin by behr. {thanks sarah, for the tip!!}
i absolutely love the color. 
the color on the wall with the window is the most accurate to the real life color.
the photo is making the other wall read too brownish.
it doesn't look brown at all.
it's just a perfect, neutraly gray.
and i love how it pops against the newly painted white trim.

it took me four coats, 1 of primer and 3 of semi-gloss white to get the trim to where it is.
the trim was the biggest pain in the neck but so so worth it.
it changes the whole look of the room.

love it!
it feels so good to have that done.

here's what i have left to do for the nursery:

*finish painting wardrobe
*find and redo a chandelier
*find and redo a long, low dresser to act as a changing table/storage
*find a curtain rod
*make curtains & hang
*recover toy chest
*make fun pillows
*make pom poms for above the bed
*make bed skirt
*recover chair
*find a fun ottoman or pouf

i'm sure i'll think of more things along the way to add to this list. :) Pin It
