Baby B's Room

We finally started painting B's room. (And by "we" I mean all the credit for the hard work goes to Dave, I'm well aware of the fact I shouldn't be around paint fumes and other such chemicals :).  I had plans of painting this room a few weeks ago, but being the procrastinator/Shankus that I am, it took a bit longer than expected to get things started.


I had originally decided on yellow paint, then decided against it because it's so typical of a surprise baby room. I hemmed and hawed over a million different paint colors... and ended up with yellow again. I guess I know what I like!

 Decisions, decisions....

The work in progress:

It's so much more bright and cheerful than before! How we managed to move everything out of this room, but left a cat scratching toy on the door, is beyond me.

I think I'm going to put up light grey or taupe molding (Dave's response to this was, "I think I'd like taupe better than grey. What color is taupe? Green? Or is mauve green?"..... Dave doesn't get to go paint shopping by himself. Though, this Wikipedia article has taught me that there is a mauve taupe! Who knew?). Not quite sure what I'll do with the ugly brown doors, I'll cross that bridge when I get there. 

The plan is for the molding to be painted and up this week, and for the floor to be put in next weekend. We'll see where that goal takes us!
