Nursery

So, we decided to start on the nursery.  The light green was already painted when we moved in (we did it for a future nursery and could go for either boy or girl).  Now, we painted some of it white and will do some build your own wainscott on the bottom in a few weeks when Grandpa and Grandma can come help.  It turned out pretty good so far.  It was daddy's first time painting and mommy supervising!  We did a good job!  I can't wait to start decorating in here once we get it painted and the boards up!
