No longer Green with envy of other nurseries...

So after a debate on whether the darker green was too overwhelming, Hubs and I decided that the best thing to do would be to work with it. So we did. I had about a 1/4 gallon of paint left and bought a quart of plain white paint. Both were in the eggshell finish for easy clean up and not so bright and glowy to blind someone on a sunny day. I mixed the two together to get a lighter version of our bright green color.

Saturday afternoon I put Hubs to work with measuring one foot sections throughout the room. I prayed the light stripes would not fall on intricate sections of the room and luckily it only did in a few spots, like light switches and door frames. I taped the penciled lines that Hubs drew in each 12 inch section. I made sure to "X" off the green sections so I wouldn't mess up while painting.

Sunday morning I set off to work on the actual painting. Was so excited to see it come together!! It took me about three or four hours to get it completely painted and untaped. I have to say I'm pretty excited about how the room came out! Can't say we are completely finished, but at least the hard part is done!! Our baby boy will see it in a little over four months! I can't believe how fast this is going!
