It Begins

The decorating of the baby boy's room started today (I mean a couple days ago; Blogger wouldn't let me attach pictures so I had to wait a bit for it to be working again)!


Eddie always thinks I should "have a plan" before I start decorating stuff. I've tried to get him to understand that I don't work like that when it comes to putting a look together. That is why he is responsible for most of the decorating in our home. Remember when I decorated our master bedroom as a "surprise" for when Eddie got home from a 2 week work trip? The real reason is that I just wanted to start and see what happens, and he didn't want me doing that, so that is just what I did when he went out of town. It totally worked out.


So, moral of the story is, he isn't as concerned about my methods for decorating MY nursery. So, I'm just starting and we'll see what comes up. I just know I want to paint it gray. I think gray is the greatest neutral. I love it. What color doesn't go well with gray? Plus, I had almost a gallon of paint left over from our master bedroom, thats why the paint looks familar. This way, if I want to use the nursery again for if I have a girl next, I can just throw in some pink accents if I don't feel like painting.

Just so everyone knows what crib I want, this is one that I love. Its just so functional.


And its only a meager $1,600. Ha! Eddies going to have to win a couple more commercial contests for that! So that one won't work out, I'm thinking maybe having a capable, cheap carpenter make a replica, I really don't think it will be cheap enough to make it affordable even on craigslist. Ikea will probably be a more realistic option, less of a streatch, but a girl can dream, right?
