"Big Boy" room


Maysen will be 2yrs old next month (I still can't believe it). For his birthday, we decided we'd transform his room. We bought this house last year and didn't really do much for his nursery because Nate graduated in June and we honestly weren't sure if we would even be able to stay here. So we had it pretty plain. Once Nate established a job and we knew we were staying, we decided we'd do more with it. And here it is! We painted 3/4 blue and added waines coating. His crib is no longer, and is now a mini day bed. He has a new fire truck lamp and new "Planes, Trains, and Trucks" curtains, comforter, and pillow. Those feet on the wall are actually Nate's feet and Maysen's when he was 1 week old. We still have stuff to put on his walls (White M.A.Y.S.E.N letters above his bed) and a few more minor things. So, that was my weekend. Finishing up his room.

So far all week has been an hour of crying and carrying on to go to sleep. He used to just go right to sleep, but since the crib transformation, no more. He comes out, peeks through his door, starts piling up toys on the outside of his door because he's "still not coming out". I'm hoping it will pass ... soon.

Thanks ... I think it turned out nice. The rest of the room looks good ... it's hard to get multiangled shots without posting 2948 pictures. Is it Waines Coating ... Wainescotting ... Waines Scott ... or all? Well, you get the point :)

We are thinking of doing a car theme when we turf the baby room. We want to paint chalkboard paint for roads and stuff - my father in law is a painter so that helps :)

EJ: That chalkboard paint is so stinking cute! And a great idea. Let me know how it turns out!!
