Today we decided to get started on painting the nursery! Let's just say it better be a boy! We are locked in to blue now!
The boys wanted to help, so Chandler helped daddy mark off the line where the chair rail will go while Brighton helped by sticking tiny pieces of painters tape all over the walls. Later on in the day, Grandma came over to help paint above the chair rail line and put a second coat on the bottom. We had gotten some free Benjamin Moore paint for the bottom color that was $20 a QUART! It turned out great, and had virtually no odor. The top color we bought at Lowe's and let's just say mommy had to keep the door shut because of all the fumes. Wow! What a difference. Anyways, I'll have to post some more pictures that show the top color soon. We have purchased the chair rail, but it may be a while before that last step gets done.
Sunday, Derek went to try and paint the trim in the room and the paint (that we keep outside in the shed) was virtually frozen! We are keeping the can inside, and we'll see if the consistency changes back into something we can paint with.
