Nursery

Corissa has had an idea of what she wanted our little girl's nursery to look like for a while now and with the help of her parents this past week Ellie's room is just about ready for her arrival. (not that we want her to come early, but we are more prepared now than we were before) We have 3 bedrooms - our room, a guest room and a computer/storage room. With Ellie on the way we needed to consolidate the guest and computer room for her to have her very own nursery. It took a lot of cleaning, organizing, storage bins, labels, and a trip to Goodwill to get the rooms ready but we finished just in time. Corissa's parents came down and spent 2 and 1/2 days (their days off work) with us to work on the room.
BEFORE
Spencer had great foresight and had the whole house painted in a very pretty tan color. This has been great but not what we wanted in the baby's room.
The closest has never had doors... until now.

Testing the paint... looks like we got it right on our first try!
Apple Tree (green) and Moon Dance (yellow)

Time for primer!
Corissa's brother Christopher also came to get in on the fun and work on his newest niece's room.
Moon Dance looks good Rob!

So does the Apple Tree!

The room is ready for chair rail. Corissa got the idea from their friends house where they did chair rail high up and used it as a border instead of the usual chair rail height.

The chair rail turned out great!

Finally closet doors!














Here's a before and after shot.

They even made time to paint the guest bathroom.
It looks so nice and fresh!

I love the high chair rail idea. I've been wanting to do that in Stella's room for 2 years! So cute. Now, for the bow holder . . .

We were so honored, touched and felt so special to be a part of Ellie's early start in life. It was a pleasure and a priviledge to work with Christopher and the food that was prepared for us was EXCELLANT!!! So glad we could come and do this and so glad Christopher came to help. So glad you like your house cold now...lol
