We used a paint color called "Bleached Denim" There is alot of blue in our beddings, its all stripey and plaid. Very BOY! Which works since we are having TWO boys! I think it will also last for awhile and not be too babyish! I love it! I can't wait to see it with white furniture and stuff on the walls!
I thought I would add one more thing. I painted this awhile back with two good friends who were ALWAYS making me paint pottery :) ( As you can see, I am not very good!) I have had it hanging on my guest room door for a year or two. After we painted said guest room, I put it on a table somewhere. Yesterday, I saw it again, and started thinking about it. I think it kind of wraps up the whole bedrest thing. I may not be doing much, but sitting, sleeping, eating, and playing on good ole' facebook, BUT I am growing two little boys... Hopefully giving them every extra calorie I can to make them ready to face the world, while keeping them nice and snug where they belong. For me, I struggle alot with needing to be busy, I can't stand to have clutter sitting around, and not pick it up. This has been a challenge for me, having to ask someone who brings me lunch if they can switch my laundry, or go to the store for me. Just having to rely on other people for food is very humbling. I don't like to depend on anyone! So, as a reminder for me, to show me how important my sitting and not doing is, and how much it really is doing something, I hung this back on the nursery door! Not only am I growing my sweet boys, Nathan ( chunky) and Noah ( little shrimper), but my love for them grows every day. With every kick and roll and wiggle, I feel such a swell of sweet emotion that I can't even put into words! So, there is my update, that is what I am doing!!! Thank you to those of you who have moved furniture, painted, cooked, cleaned, shopped and done our dishes!! We love you!
