This past July our family moved to a new (to us) home to accommodate our growing family. The top things on our list were space and an open floor plan. We figured that anything cosmetic could be changed. We found a house that met our needs, but as far as cosmetics, pretty much everything needed updating. We are talking wall paper, brass fixtures and loud paint colors. Fortunately, we watch a lot of Fixer Upper and have plenty of inspiration to bring this house out of the brassy 90s and make it a comfy and beautiful place for us to make memories for years to come.
When we moved in, one of the first rooms that we needed to get painted and ready was the room that would be Chloe's. It was a very dark forest green color that made the room feel like one of those mini putting greens should be set up in there. This was not going to work with Chloe's pink and aqua color scheme. Here is a before picture:
We decided to go with the same color we used in her room at our old house. I blogged all about the details of her nursery in a previous post. I am not really a matchy matchy theme type person, so I picked decor that I like that coordinate well together. What I love about her room is that it will grow with her until the day she decides she's wants to change it. Here are the after pics:
Chloe's room is first room in the house that is officially completely done. The next room on the list is Beau's nursery. We are going with a vintage sports theme with orange and aqua accent colors. I know I said I am not a theme person, but there are so many different directions to go with vintage sports that it didn't stifle my creativity. I'll give you the before picture so you can get a glimpse of what I had to start with...
Yikes! I don't think I have ever seen a brighter shade of pink paint in all my life. It hurt my eyes to just look in the room. Definitely not a calm and soothing color for a room that you want your baby to sleep in.
Beau is due to arrive in just 2 weeks and 5 days. Not that I'm counting or anything. We are over the moon excited to meet our little man.
