So for awhile, I was debating what I wanted to paint the baby's room. After several weeks of intent thought, I decided that I wanted to paint his room an electric green. A fine color, I know...but not the most sensible for a little room, or any room for that matter. As soon as Logan opened the can, I knew it was a bad choice, but I didn't want to seem naggy, so I let him go ahead with the electric green. With each wall, the color seemed to get brighter and brighter...Logan kept asking, "Are you sure you like this color? Because if not, I don't want to paint the whole thing!"
But of course, I said yes with much doubt in my mind. That night after we were in bed, I started crying saying, "I really don't like the color and I can't get it out of my mind...its haunting me!" Logan knew I wouldn't like it, but the problem was I couldn't go to sleep until we figured out an alternative...we finally decided to go with a more grayish blue (even though in one of the pictures it looks purple and in the other it looks teal).
But all in all, the room is turning out to very cute. I am still working every day to make it better! But for now I am pretty proud of the work. And I know I have such a great husband because he took the time to repaint it for me with the help of my inlaws! He sure does know how to make a girl happy! Also, I found this really cool painting on Pottery Barn Kids but it was like $180. So not wanting to spend that kinds of dough, I did it myself and it turned out okay! I had a fun time doing it as well.
I am going to add another canvas to the top to "complete" the tree as Logan would say!

Oh, that blue is so perfect. Zane had me read this post and after he said, "that was so Traci." Meaning- don't want to say anything to hurt feelings about color chosen, but cry later because I am twisted up inside. That painting is wonderful. Way to go doing it yourself. You are so talented `
The room looks so cute! I love that blue and that painting!!
HOW CUTE is that room! good job mom!
We did the same thing at our old house in the kitchen. We had almost the whole thing painted an apple green, and it was just too bright. What a pain! I love your new paint choice, as well as the tree. Adorable!
Love the color! And you said you weren't crafty. That's how it all begins. Pouring over the Pottery barn catalogue, a quick glance at the prices, then it hits. "I could totally do that myself for way cheaper". And you're never the same. Oh, and your Spain nanny thing sounds great!
