Paul and I have been working very hard on the baby's room. I thought it would be so difficult to create a room for a person we haven't even met yet, particularly when we don't know if that person will be a boy or a girl. But it turns out it's not that hard. We decided to use light greens and blues for colors. I painted wide horizontal stripes on the walls in blue and green. Paul helped me with the tape. It was an arduous task but well worth it. We think it looks fantastic! I have finished making the baby's mobile - different types of birds cut out of contrasting fabrics, which hang from artificial tree limbs. It turned out a lot better than I thought it would. I also made a lamp shade and got new drawer pulls for the baby's dresser. I am hoping that Paul's sister, Melissa, will be able to paint a tree in the corner of the nursery overlooking the crib. My goal is to hang the mobile from the ceiling but for it to appear to be hanging from a limb of the painted tree. I have more and more ideas every day. At some point, I will have to stop, but I'm really enjoying all the preparation. It is very difficult to take pictures of a room from inside the room, but I promise I will upload some soon.
