One of the few drawbacks of not finding out the sex of a baby before he/she is born is that you aren't able to prepare the nursery beforehand. After the baby is born it is really hard to find a free moment, let alone, to try to find a free weekend where you can devote it to painting and decorating a room. But we finally have Conner's room done, well almost. I still have one little project that I want to finish, but hopefully this weekend I will get it done. So here are the pictures......
The stripes at the top were by far the most time consuming to do. Unfortunately Luckily, I have a husband who is detail oriented and therefore did most of the taping for the stripes.
I hand painted the animals on the wall.
The project that I have left to do involves the letters above his crib. I bought some scrapbook paper that I am going to glue on so that they will match the bedding theme.
This week Kaylee also got to move into her big, big girl bed. (She called her toddler bed her big girl bed, so she thought that this bed should be her big, big girl bed.) We had to move out all of the furniture from the rooms that were carpeted last week, so we took this great opportunity to get this bed set up. This bed was actually my bed from when I was growing up.
Kaylee got to pick out the bedding for her new bed, but we will wait for her birthday next year to re-paint her room. She is also wearing her leotard (a post will come later about gymnastics and hopefully a video) that she wore almost the whole day. :)
