Welcome to the nursery-to-be, a la aerial view from a ladder. This used to be our little office, but fortunately I've since talked The Fella out of trying to make this space dual purpose. (Who wants to wake a sleeping baby with the sounds of typing???) Miraculously, we managed to relocate all our office furniture, decor, and stuff to new homes around the rest of the condo. This wasn't as horrible as I had imagined.
But you know what was horrible?
Taping and prepping the room for painting.
All because I had the grand idea to copy the striped walls of this designer nursery. Poor Fella was such a saint to indulge this mommy-to-be in her Let's Play Interior Designer for a Few Months mode. It seemed like such a fabulous idea at the time, but what the blogger neglects to inform you of are very important details like: How long did it take to do wall-to-wall stripes for a normal size room? What poor sucker had to paint this?? More importantly, how the EFF did said sucker do LEVEL stripes. Without tearing his hair out???
We got into some yelling matches during the leveling-taping-painting process. But we also shared some very nice moments daydreaming together about our future baby boy.
Finished, painted room pix coming soon! (It's not really as lopsided as the picture above makes it look! Promise.)
