Nursery nonsense

This past weekend we got down to business and began remodeling the nursery.  My husband really surprised me when he was on board with my ideas for decorating.  We decided to go with a “San Francisco Giants” theme… and yes that means orange walls! We love the Giants, and so obviously we hope our son loves them as much as us! Although, this kid really isn’t going to have a choice. His fate has been sealed- Orange and Black for life!

The first step was clearing out space...

and then the painting began!

We went to Home Depot because it’s right by our house, and when we were looking around for the closest Giants orange we could find, we had all but given up.  Nothing seemed to be quite right.  So we asked a sales associate in the paint department, and he said they carry specific team colors! HURRAY!  So we bought 1 gallon of Giants orange to start, and plan on incorporating their gray and black to match.  So far, we are just painting the walls all one color, but the plan will ultimately be to add some Wainscoting as well. Just to break up the color.  Ron was very helpful- he pretty much painted the entire walls… I just did the trim. (and yes my pregnant self was up on a ladder, I have more patience for that kind of thing!)

In addition to purchasing the paint and getting started, we also came across a lovely little Growth Chart that matches our theme. We found the seller on Etsy, and it turns out they are only a short drive away from where we live!  So no need to pay for shipping, we plan on picking it up ourselves! I’ll post a photo when we have it!  So excited for the nursery, things are getting real!
