Decorating is under way!

Hi all, Heather here. Jason's brother Jeff is kind enough to come and help us with the baby's room this week. So after much deliberation, I think we finally made a decision on the paint today!

We're going to do a two-tone paint treatment with a stencil as the "chair rail". Similar to this idea.



Only our colors will be cream on the top and sage on the bottom, with this stencil as the border between the two. (Assuming we can actually find this stencil...) Today we chose Valspar Caribbean Walk as the cream and Pale Oak Grove as the green, but we may go one tone darker and get Spearmint Shale. I was going to load a pick of the swatches from Valspar's website, but the color on the screen is not true to the swatches we brought home, so it's kinda pointless. I think we're going to purchase the sample size of each to make sure they work the way we want them to on the wall at home.


Here's a link to the baby bedding we purchased. You can zoom in and note that the border stencil we're going to do plays off the green gingham. And I'm going to turn the bedskirt into a window valance, so that will be the window treatment. http://www3.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6E.aspx?DeptID=62438&CatID=62731&GrpTyp=ENS&ItemID=14e7ae0&attrtype=&attrvalue=&CMID=62438%7c62644%7c62645&Fltr=&Srt=&QL=F&IND=69&cmVirtualCat=&CmCatId=62438626446264562731


Love you!

  1. Hey have you guys ever heard of the bump? Check out www.thebump.com It's a great website with some really good message boards. I joined the Blended Families board a couple of months back. It's nice to talk to other women who have been where I'm at, but they have a ton of boards, and articles, and planning tools. Anyway... I thought you might like to look into it.
