Well another day is over and more work has been done to the nursery. Here are the pictures from the end of the day...
So all the painting is DONE...two coats on the walls and three on the doors. We can't hang the border until the very soonest Wednesday as it tells you to let your new paint cure for 72 hours before hanging border. So we must wait. Instead I made The Husband help put all the furniture into its place for the most part so I could see what the room was looking like. Now I have a better idea what still needs done. The Husband's going to paint the outlet covers orange and then put those on. I've decided I want shelves above the changing table so we're going to look for those. I also think we just need more storage so we took measurements and we're going hunting tomorrow. Then I also need to find a ceiling fan for the room that I like. They have a very sucky selection for boy fans. I found the one we're getting for K-Girl's room a while back. Each of the blades is a different color and it has flowers on it and the pullstrings are butterflies - adorable. But no such luck for E-Man's room so far. They had an ugly primary color one and they had a baseball one. What is it that says that if it's little boy it must be sports. Blah. So we shall see. The hunt is on. The Husband's calling in the morning to make the appointment to have the electrician come out and do all the work and then he'll be able to go ahead and put up the fans. I can not wait until I have overhead lighting in the bedrooms. I also finally decided on what personal touch I'm going to give the nursery. On the closet doors...
I am going to paint the animals that are on the border/curtain/bedding...
I took the pictures of the actual animals and I'm going to print them out on regular paper. Then I will trace the actual animals and The Husband will take them to work and copy them onto overhead transparency. Then he can bring home the projector and we can put them up and paint them on the doors. I might normally freehand them, but for this that I am trying to duplicate the actual piece that is other places in the room I just don't want to screw it up at all. It needs to be perfect or my analness just won't be happy with it. So I've decided this might be a little more of a pain to do, but in the end I'll be most happy with the results I get. So that's my plan on how to personalize the nursery.
You'll see more pictures when the border gets put up, but that might not be till next weekend depending on how this week goes.
