Painting Progress

I have lots of pictures to share with you from this weekend! Josh and I focused on getting some paint up in the nursery! We finished painting the ceiling, got two coats on the beadboard, and got two coats on the walls. As you will see, the colors really brighten up the room! When we put the yellow on, Josh exclaimed, "Holy YELLOW!" LOL The color is very bright, I agree. However, it's really just an undercoat to the faux finishing I'm going to do. I am going to be sponging a lighter, buttery yellow on top of the bright yellow. It will tone down the room a lot. The blue painter's tape will also obviously be coming down.

The green border will have a piece of white molding running along the top of it. The border will be sun, moon, stars, and abc's in shades of teal, blue, purple, and yellow. The corner armoire needs shelves, doors, and molding and it will be white. Overall, we are very happy with the progress in the room. The dogs were not very happy that we were working (and gasp! not paying attention to them!) and wanted to be a part of everything. I'll post a pic of them here, too... right in the middle of all the mess. If you want to see the pics a bit bigger, just click on them one at a time.
