Nursery Preview

Okay, so I told you I was going to share with you my inspirations for our second daughter's nursery. I am so excited to get started on this, I seriously can't wait to start demolition!
I haven't narrowed down the EXACT shade of gray I want to paint her walls, but I'm thinking something similar to this wall color {Benjamin Moore's Stonington Gray HC-170}:

And as far as the furniture goes, we still need Addison to keep her crib, especially since it will convert for all the stages she needs it for, so we're going to get a new crib for Zoey, along with a rocker/glider (which I never had with Addison because I didn't think I needed it & now I realize how wrong I was), a changing table,and a new dresser. BUT if I can find a great dresser that could double as a changing table, we'll just get that one piece. I'm still undecided, but here is what I'm hoping for:

This awesome Graco glider..with this cute crib

 A dresser painted this gorgeous color and stuck inside her closet with this pattern painted onto the closet walls:



 I'm in love with this bedding, but it's a little pricey...I'm hoping to find something very similar to it!

 I also will be making this kind of mobile, just with different colors.

 This {but obviously a Z}

I have SO many more ideas, but you would need to see a drawing instead of just pictures. Demolition will be Friday and Saturday and we will start painting hopefully early next week. I will post lots of pictures of the transition. For now, sweet dreams...

Living Room Painted

So for a pretty long time now, we've been working on painting our living room. We're still not done, unfortunately. But you can't tell-at least not in these pictures, hahaha. Our walls were paneled when we moved in. We painted them white and then thought it was too much white, so we ripped the paneling down. We had to sand down all of the glue and mud A LOT. Then we painted Valspars Sandstone Beige onto the walls.

I love the color now! We ripped out our trim to replace it and like I said, we still need to do one last coat. The back door will be replaced with a clean, white one and the mantle still needs to be stripped of the paint and re-stained a deep brown. We also removed beams from our ceiling that were there for decoration and we will be putting beadboard up to cover up the outdated popcorn ceiling. And then we will add photos and art to our walls to make it more home-y. I'll show you the pictures of the ceiling once the beadboard is up so you can see the before & after.
