The Nursery is Underway!

Well, we're halfway there... 21 weeks down, 19 to go!  And it's time to get to work on the nursery.  Here's my mood board... I call it "Feminine Woodland Creatures".  The color scheme is based on a quilt that my mom made for me about 10 years ago (top left.)

I came home from Lowes a couple weeks ago with a stack of at least 100 light blue paint chips.  What can I say, I like to be thorough.  Kevin looked through the first 12 in the stack and slapped one down on the table, "This one."  Valspar's Paradise Blue.  I liked it, too, but I was afraid it was going to be too dark, so I chose a lighter one called Breakwater and got samples of both.

After I got them on the wall, there was no contest.  Kev was right.  (Did I say that out loud?)  The lighter one said "I wanted to paint my daughter's room blue, but I didn't want to be too weird about it, so I went with a 'safe' blue."  The darker one said, "Yeah, I painted my little girl's room blue.  Whaddyagonnadoaboutit?"

Still trying to decide what to do about the chair rail... do I paint the wall underneath white?  The same color blue?  I don't know, we'll see. 

I also found some beautiful sheer fabric that I plan to use as a window valance.  My sewing skills are almost nil, so that should be interesting and generate a lot of colorful language.

We have another ultrasound on Monday... probably the last time we'll get to see our little one before she joins us in June.  Will post pics if we get any good ones!
