We ordered her Damask print wall paper on Monday from Lowe's and waited patiently for it to come in so we could pick out paint and get started. When it finally did come in, we went strait to Home Depot to pick out a paint color that would fit with the color scheme! Of course it's pink, but there are SO many shades of pink and we had to find one that fit in the same color family with the wall paper we ordered. The wall paper's perfect match is "Old Fashioned Pink" but we thought that color pink all over the room might be overkill so we found a lighter shade, "Poetic Princess" to compliment the wall paper on the three other walls. My cousin Mia helped us pick it out!
Cory proudly did his fatherly duty and painted his baby girl's room pink as I had to keep myself from going in and watching. I had to stay away from the paint fumes for Charlie's sake, but I definitely snuck in to snap some pictures!
We waited another day to put up the wall paper so the paint could dry and we were just nervous because we've never put up wall paper before. Cory educated himself with plenty of YouTube how-to videos and we were ready to go today! We managed to put up three strips of wall paper covering half the wall before Cory had to go to work today. So far it looks AWESOME! So cute I can't wait for it to be finished! We also made some major purchases this weekend with the help of Charlie's loving grandparents! Denise bought Charlie's cradle yesterday at Buy Buy Baby and my mom and dad bought Charlie's crib today from the same place! They went on an all day adventure to get her crib and even Papa Kenny had to help get it to her room! But it is here now, waiting to be assembled by Cory. Another fun nursery task for us to tackle!
We still have a long way to go... finish wall papering, put up crown molding, assembling the crib, etc. but it's nice to finally get started and see all of my ideas for Charlie's Princess room slowly come to life! More pictures of the nursery to come!
