Painting the Nursery

Last weekend Jenny, The Kid and I were thrilled to receive two new pieces of furniture from Yoyo (aka, my Dad)! He made a tall dresser and a smaller night stand to compliment our baby's dresser. Both pieces are gorgeous!

Well having a room full of beautiful furniture was just too much for Jenny and I to bear, so we decided to paint the nursery. We'll be sticking around here for just a bit longer, so it made sense to jazz the room up just a bit.

In keeping with our surprise, we went with a gender-neutral green. We only had to go to the paint store four times before we decided on which specific green to use. I don't mind. I guess it's better than painting the room four times.

Don't worry folks, the paint is pretty low-odor so Jenny was fine painting. I risked life and limb to take all the high jobs. Jenny is top-heavy enough as it is.

It is still funny to me that we have a whole room just for someone the size of a sack of potatoes. Our baby will weigh about 7-8 lbs. (approximately) when he decides to show himself and he's living in a room that's 12'x12'. I weigh a hair over 200 pounds, which means that my room should have basketball goals at each end, right?

Anyway, the end result is awesome! The room has a nice, calm vibe to it, perfect for play time, nap time (I hope), and the all-too-frequent diaper change. Once we're done decorating we'll post pictures of the finished room.
