I'd been holding off on posting any more nursery pics until we were done, but I just can't contain the final detail pics we got yesterday. HUGE thanks to everybody who came out to help. Tara had a distinct vision for what she wanted and you guys pulled it off perfectly! I especially like the flourish of the branch with the lovebirds on it over the door.
Friday Grandad T-Berry flew into town, and when Grandad T-Berry comes to town, that generally means a trip to the hardware store to fill out more of the holes in my tool set. :) Speaking of holes, John swung by again Saturday afternoon and walked me through patching the hole we dug out of the window seat. John knows his dry wall and really taught me a bunch. You can see in the picture to the right the extent of his success in coaching me through it. Tara was as busy as ever on Saturday, so we tried to make her rest in between all the Team in Training and Michelle's wedding work she was doing on Saturday. You can see her in her lovely Co-Matron of Honor dress in some of the pictures here. On Sunday we rested, so we'll have more pictures from the finish work we're doing this week later.
The bulk of the painting is all done now and we've pulled the tape off the trim. Everything looks just perfect and we're super happy. We are really lucky to have had GrandMom T-Berry in town this last week to almost single handedly paint the entire room. Tara and I both are really looking forward to getting cribs in and with the help of both of the Grandparents we will be getting that going soon.
We have trim! Mom got all the trim and the posts in the window with the dark brown and the room is now really coming together! John (Merch) came by and gave us some ideas for what to do about the shelves in the bottom of the window seat, but in the end I decided that was probably too much right now for our nursery remodel. Maybe some day. :p John hooked us up with all the tools supplies and even the sheet rock to patch up the big hole we made in the wall. As soon as we get that patched up we'll apply the magnetic paint down there and that should be the final touch.
Day 3 Progress was great! Mom had the major sections of the walls painted perfectly and I "requested" that the girls take it easy tonight and enjoy themselves at Knit Wits. Tomorrow it's the trim!
GrandMom T-Berry made great progress getting the room prepped and painting the ceiling and back wall by the time Tara and I got home. While I finished up the ceiling the ladies verified the paint colors and went and picked up the rest of the paint. Tara taped off the walls while GrandMom T-Berry touched up the back wall and then I had to drag them both away so they would get some rest. I think the colors turned out great!
Grandma T-Berry got in to town yesterday and the Nursery planning started in earnest. After punching some holes in the wall of the window seat to see what's under there we're not sure if our book shelf plan is going to pan out. Attached are some some photos of the Nursery before we start painting and from our Lowe's trip for paint & supplies. We got some paint color samples and a big bucket of blue for the ceiling. Grandma T-Berry is starting on the ceiling today and then we'll try out some samples of the paint for the wall and trim and see how they look this afternoon. We'll post pictures of our day-to-day progress.
