Nursery Progress Report #3

This week in nursery construction was all about paint. All of the heavy construction is officially done and now it's all about the finishing and decorating, my favorite part! The walls needed to be prepped, primed and painted. The crown molding also needed to be painted to finish it off. I was so excited to finally see the color on the walls. I love it, I think it's going to look so great with the furniture and bedding!

The recessed lights have been pushed up and capped to finish them off.

We also bought new wall plates in a brushed stainless steel to contrast with the aqua walls.

We also installed Ethan's closet system we designed last week at the Container Store. It was really easy to install and put together, it took about an hour. We still need to install two dark wood gliding shelves but we want to get the closet doors put on first so they're protected. We added so much storage space, it's going to be so nice to store all of his little things.

On the decorating front, we purchased cordless blinds for the windows, bookcases, plus more Etsy finds. Some of our Etsy purchases started being delivered too, which was really fun!

We wanted to get cordless blinds so he can't hurt himself so we picked up these blackout shades for his two windows.

This is the color they are though, a soft grey which will be a nice contrast to the aqua walls, charcoal drapes and white trim.

We bought two of these bookcases to go on the crib wall. Michael's Dad is going to trim them out so they look built in and fancy them up a bit.

E is for Ethan! I got this fabric letter for the collage wall. This Etsy seller did letters for Lily's nursery and they were really cute. It is coming all the way from Canada so it will be a few weeks before we receive it.

A cute print for the collage wall, I just love seeing his name on things!

Another print for the collage wall. I love this Dr. Seuss quote and who doesn't like a lion with glasses?

I am having these wall letters made for over Ethan's crib. They will look different from these pictured above. They will be gray charcoal colored circles with white letters and the animals from our bedding will be painted on each letter. They will be trimmed with white ribbon and coordinating colored buttons. I can't to see the finished product!

I'm really excited for next week's progress update because there will be baby furniture added to the room!!
