Preview: Baby's Room

We are without all of the nursery essentials, but here's the preview of what's to come. When we moved in, this bedroom was baby blue. Two little boys lived here before us, so it worked for the previous homeowners. Not so much for us, as baby Christensen's gender is still a mystery. So prior to Thanksgiving, we had the middle bedroom repainted. At that time, we weren't pregnant. Funny how things work out.

We chose a neutral: "cream cloak". As you can see, it has a very soft green hue. In a room without a lot of natural light, this color really helps keep a bright and light feeling. We were considering a lively yellow....and well, it was a little too lively when we got the sample on the wall. Thank goodness for paint samples.

Here's the result:




Next step will be to swap the ceiling fan with the one in our bedroom (Josh broke this one in an attempt to change the light bulb). Then it will be time for furniture and accessories. Stay tuned for the finished product. It's got to be ready before August!
