Ta Da...The Nursery!

Is it still considered a nursery if she is 4.5 months the first time she sleeps in it? Meh, whatever the important part is that its DONE! Tonight will be Makenna's first night in her own room! Hopefully it goes smooth.

I have to give my fabulous husband a ton of credit, he busted his butt and did an amazing job! Its much more perfect than I ever imagined it. We of course hit a few snags along the way but the solutions made the room that much more perfect. Our main issue started when I requested that the old style trim be taken off and replaced. Simple enough, right? Nope. After all trim was off, the plaster and lathe started to crumble, of course. There were a few options... 1. re-drywall the entire room- way too much work. 2. try to re- plaster the bottom where it had crumbled and hope we could seam it well so it didn't look goofy.- I'm confident in my husband's work but this seemed the half-butted way. 3. He came up with the idea of wainscoting. - Perfect! It broke up the paint a bit since we have the funky walls, it would look super cute and would be easy to clean! So that's what we did!

Okay, okay. Enough of my rambling. Here it is!

Before- dark pink + brown carpet= depressing!



Now...

This first picture is the wall you see all the way to the left in the above picture. We added built in storage...



I custom painted both her letters and hangers shown in this pic...
