Baby's Room

One of the easiest things so far was deciding what we wanted the Baby's room to look like.  Usually, when it comes to paint and decorating, we spend hours trying to choose colors and a layout.  For some reason, this wasn't the case.  We kind of just mentioned a few things, agreed with each other, and got started.  (If I'm being totally honest, I have to say that Pinterest had A LOT to do with it- for Elissa and Tony!) 

Tony really deserves most of the credit for this big project.  He started pinning wainscoting pictures and DIYs from blogs right away.  After that, he bought the tools he needed and got to work.  My biggest contribution so far has been helping pick out wall colors and and holding boards as Tony nailed them to the wall (with his new compressor and nail gun).  Check out our progress so far...

Before...

    Tony mixes primer and gets it ready for the sprayer.

                             

Walls are primed. Tony has the baseboards in and is getting the top of the wainscoting nailed to the wall.

Now the vertical boards are up. Great measurements, Tony!

This part was a little tricky!  Tony had to frame out the boards around the window and remove the trim underneath it. 

More vertical boards. Up next... Caulking and sanding the gaps. 

Trim paint and doors are white.

Wainscoting is also a high gloss white, and the solid wall is gray. Up next.... Striping.

The one striped wall turned out great.  Thanks for the help, Uncle Zack!

Finally, the painting and wainscoting is done!  One wall striped, and all the rest gray.  Amazing job, Tony!

Here's a panoramic picture of all four walls. 

(We should've left the blinds closed.  Oops!)

Now, if that furniture would just come in........
