Project Nursery Part 2
Two Saturdays ago, my mom came down to help me paint the nursery! We painted the three gray walls and started on the chevron-striped wall. I will put up a post on how we did the chevron stripe later. Those pictures are all on my husband's phone. We got the white part of the stripe done first, then it needed to dry so we could do the yellow. (Click here to see the colors used)
This last Sunday, my friend and Image 1:27 Photography partner Macey Ryan came over so we could work on the yellow stripe. I really wanted it finished before our doctor's appointment (today!). We worked on it while our husbands were at church, and when they got back we were very proud to show off our work!

Another step completed for project nursery was spray painting the door knob, outlet covers, light switch plate, and air vent. I used Rust-Oleum Bronze Spray Paint to cover everything. The outlet covers and light switch were cream-colored plastic; the air vent was supposed to look like wood; the door know was a "golden oldie."

Still to come...
Painting the ceiling fan
Refinishing the dresser/changing table
Art for the walls
And a whole lot more!
Looks awesome, great job! BTW, congrats on the upcoming arrival! Can't wait to see what else you do with the space. Oh, and now you've inspired me to go and do the same thing to my doorknobs. They stand out horribly!

Good idea to spray paint the door knobs - that's an update our house needs.
ReplyDeleteFound you through another blog - always fun to see another Alabamian (although I live in Orlando now).
ReplyDeleteWould you like to come and paint our nursery? I'm 32 weeks and that sucker is still empty! Looks like yours will be gorgeous - can't wait to see the progress!
visiting from someday crafts, that wall looks GREAT, and like it was a lot of work, but it turned out really great :)
ReplyDeleteThanks everybody! I love how it turned out, but you're right, it was a TON of work, and I'll probably never paint another chevron stripe again lol
ReplyDeleteI love your wall. Chevron is my favorite pattern right now! I would love for you to share this on my Blog Stalking Thursday weekly Linky Party! http://www.thecraftyblogstalker.com/2012/10/blog-stalking-thursday-62.html

LOVE the chevron wall!!! So cute! Thanks for linking up at Romance on a dime!!
ReplyDeleteLove the chevron and yellow! Super cute! I wish our nursery looked like this... ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I can't wait for Parker to get here so she can enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThat chevron wall is amazing. I painted my kitchen backsplash in chevrons and it was pretty time consuming, so my hat's off to you!

Hi! Quick question for you now that you've had your painted knob on for a while... How is it holding up? Am thinking of painting all of our exterior locking knobs and was wondering if the paint would hold up without chipping, scratching, etc. Thanks for any input you can give me!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, we so rarely use the door knob, I don't think I can give an accurate account of how well it' holding up. We only close her door during nap times, and that's just pulling it closed, so we don't actually turn the knob. I have used the paint on jar lids, and that has held up well, and I guess is kind of the same thing!
