Hello 3rd Trimester- I am sooo happy to see you! We have been busy lately wrapping up the holiday season and trying to get a jump start on preparations for Anderson’s arrival!
Last month I was able to talk John into painting the nursery. It ended up being somewhat of a painting horror story but I’m happy to say it is complete. The painting that is.
You’ve probably heard me refer to the guest bedroom as the nursery long before we were ever expecting. The previous owners had painted chocolate brown as a nursery for their kids before we bought it.
We had our work cut out for us as I decided on a much lighter blue/green/grey color. Sherwin Williams- “Quietude” John went to town priming the walls. Have I mentioned he hates to paint? I agreed to help so I went behind him and started the trim. Thank goodness for “fume-free” paint!We learned that when painting with eggshell paint, you can’t section the walls{i.e. trim and roll}, which is what we did on the second coat. John ended up having to roll a 3rd coat and I am so pleased with how the room turned out!
Here is some inspiration and things we plan to purpose or have already! I’m hoping to knock it out sooner than later so I can enjoy his room before he gets here!

Sleep? I’ve retired the boppy pillow for now. I can’t seem to get comfortable unless I’m half way on my stomach.
