Painting the nursery

We spent all weekend (minus hanging out with friends on Saturday night) painting the baby’s room. We started by going to Home Depot on Friday (and then made four consecutive trips throughout the weekend!) and picking out paint. We picked “Weeping Wisteria”, a lavender color for the main paint. Once we finished painting, however, we were a little worried! It seemed so purple! Then we spent Sunday afternoon placing the stripes on the wall to paint them white. And after painting the white stripes, we are very happy with the way it has turned out so far! We still need to paint a border between the solid lavender and white stripes, but we’re deciding on whether it should be more white or the darker purple called “Pandora” that we also bought from Home Depot.

Here I am putting up the tape on the baseboard. And below is Dan starting to paint the walls.





Here's Dan starting to measure the stripes for the white paint.


And me painting the white stripes.






Caesar was feeling a little lonely so he kept me company while I painted.
