Thanks to both grandmas and Aunt Jenny we now have a beautifully painted nursery just waiting to be filled be lots of cute baby stuff
It is so exciting to finally have some color on those walls! This room has always been just a catch all kind of guest room…except for when it had a short life as Jenny’s bedroom. We never decorated this room because we really just didn’t have a reason to and we never really had furniture to put in it anyway. I guess when we moved in 4 years ago we always figured it would be a nursery at some point, we just never knew when. Now that the time has come, I’m glad we never decorated it before because the basically empty room and white walls sure made it easy to start turning it into an official nursery.
After going back and forth about colors, we decided to paint all the walls a warm gray and I am so happy we did because I LOVE the way the color turned out! The furniture and textiles we have for the room will really “pop” against these walls.

Our baby is so lucky to have these two hot mamas for grandmas!!
While they were painting, I tackled a little project of my own. I was on the lookout for a vintage rocking chair to match our “vintage-looking” crib and Craiglist came through again! I found this rocking chair advertised for $20, but was able to get for only $10 because the seat was damaged and the lady selling it didn’t realize it was broken because she had it stuffed in the back of her shed for so long. My dad was able to easily repair the seat with some scrap wood and now that it is painted, you would never know it was damaged. After 1 coat of primer and 3 coats of paint, my rocking chair is finished and I think it is one of my favorite pieces of furniture in our whole house!
I did a photo shoot of my friend’s little guy today and he got to officially break the chair [and the freshly painted nursery] in!
