Painting Day

Today we start painting the nursery. I'm so excited to start this project. Maybe it is early nesting? Maybe it is just a way to bond with my baby boy, despite all the puking and nausea I still have.

Here is one last view of the before. You can see the hints of that horrible mauve that used to be all over. Now only a memory to be hidden behind the baseboard.
 

We posted some inspiration up, just to set the mood. Super Mario World was where we took most of our inspiration. Though we aren't going to be purists. We have taken some different ideas from different games.
 

We are going lighter in color, so we have to prime first.
 

Finally, we are ready for the paint color. I put his first initial on the wall to claim the room as his. I hope he will love it!
 

It's really coming along now! I love the color. We were going for a Nintendo game sky blue.
 

Not bad for a day's work. The room is painted. Now for the real creativity (and a nap).
