Painting the nursery....green!!

After all the shopping excitment on Friday, the baby fun continued on Saturday. I was completely prepared to pay the guys that painted the rest of our house to also paint the nursery. But our neighbor and good friend Jenny requested that we not have the painters do it...apparently she considers painting therapy and persuaded me to let her paint the nursery. So, Jenny and I had 3 hours of therapy on Saturday afternoon....

Clearly Jenny was enjoying her work and we were careful not to let Jay observe her unorthodox painting style!

Jenny was the brains and the detail work and I was just the cheap labor. The color is Lime Granita...
Sitting down on the job! Oh and please be sure to notice there are no pictures of Jay painting. He enjoys it even less than I do and managed to check in just about the time we finished up :-) But I should give him credit, he was doing plenty of work in other parts of the house!

Taking a cookie and coffee break after the first coat before doing the final touch up. Notice when cookies are involved, Jay mysteriouly appears. And Shauna was gracious enough to come down and put some cookies in the oven for us...and much like Jay, manage to avoid all the manual labor :-) But the cookies definitely hit the spot! Oh and maybe you can tell in this photo...the kitchen is now green, that work was done by the professionals!!

Jay comes to survey the finished project and to help us clean up.

Of course Scout had to get in on the action...he is making sure that the nursery is comfy enough for his little sister!

And her crib!! We plan to do some design work on the walls in some fun accent colors. Ok, maybe I should say, Jenny plans to do some design work :-)
