All the Nursery is missing is Hazel....and some furniture!

On Friday night, Emily, Locke, Erika (aka Kelly), Darryl and I all worked on the nursery. Darryl started by cleaning the entire room out while I was in San Francisco with my mom. He then painted the ceiling white, painted the trim and doors, changed all hardware to brushed stainless and put in a new light fixture. Next, he painted all of the walls ivory, to match her bedding. On Friday, Darryl taped the walls for about 5 hours!!! He did an amazing job and used a laser leveler to get each line as straight as possible. Wow, that's a lot of tape! Way to go Dad (from Hazel).

Emily and Locke as the taping began!

Potentially mine and Darryl's future baby!

Emily, Erika and I worked for about 4 hours trying to do math and figure out what stripe color needed to go where. We just could not understand why 2, 3 and 4 wouldn't go evenly into 5. Making stripes divisible by 5 is hard work!!!! And, mind you, we couldn't just do the math. We had to do a color and numbering system on a piece of paper and mark every stripe with a specific color. After about 10 different run throughs, we finally figured it out! Darryl could have probably told us in about 2 minutes that what we were doing would never work, but it was fun figuring it out on our own. We even had a song that went along with the colors so we wouldn't forget. I'm going to go back and add a thin red stripe down the middle of the large ivory stripes, but that was just too much for one night! I mean, we already striped 4 different colors and red will make 5. Gosh, I hope this little girl realizes how much we lover her!

Emily is strategically coloring out stripes!

Yes, this is what a baby girls closet should look like! (According to her mom)

Hazel's furniture is not here yet, so I stacked the rest of her clothes in piles on the floor. She sure won't be naked!
