Minor renovations for baby x

We're 5 weeks away from meeting baby x.  5 weeks doesn't sound like a lot, does it?  I'm not even sure what there is still left to do, other than maybe organizing.  We've got the room painted, thanks to my mother.


It took 4 tries to get the lighter grey right.  The first was practically white.  The store re-tinted it for us, but it was still too pale.  So we bought another gallon, with out the benefit of a paint chip from the darker color, and ended up with something too dark and too blue.  Then Mom took the darker color and dumped some into the lighter paint and *presto* the perfect light grey.

It's a tiny room, so tiny.  The crib was gifted from my brother's family.  We're going to paint it blue, unless Andrew convinces me to buy a different crib.  And do you see the little pile of yellow right in the middle of the room?  That is bedding from the little bassinet we got from Andrew's mom.  Baby Andy used to sleep in it, and soon baby x will, too.

Like I said, it needs some organization.

Here's the blue grey that didn't work for the baby's room transforming the guest bath.

Dad scraped the wall paper the first trip out, and Mom painted it, including the ever-present paneling that made up the cabinet.  I love the crisp contrast.  Just add a towel rod, and take out the glass doors on the bath, and we're set.

  1. I was astonished when I tried that paint on the wall of the nursery, above the darker grey. Who could guess that two greys could clash so badly. It looked so good in the bathroom though, and I was glad we could use it. The grey in the nursery turned out so well.

  2. The nursery and the guest bedroom are small, but a good, cozy size. I love how the nursery looks painted.
