Room by Room Renovations
Hi! It will be a while before we have any measurable progress with the house, so I thought I would share some "before" shots.
The first room is the guest room turned nursery. We aren't doing much in terms of renovation. We'll refinish the floors and paint the walls and ceiling. And we are adding a bathroom by breaking through a wall off to the left. Here is the "before" shot:
Yes, those are two toilets that you see. The nursery is currently where we store everything that we might re-use in the renovation. We are going to re purpose as much of the old cypress wood doors and trim that were removed during the demolition as possible. That fan is going to be a craigslist special eventually. We also have a sink, dish washer, and at least one of those toilets that will be sold.
Anyway, here is my "vision" for the nursery!
Here's the rug:
And I bought a white Jenny Lind crib:
For the bed skirt and a few pillows for the glider, I'm using this fabric:
And the windows coverings will be this fabric:
As far as the wall color, I'm still undecided (it's not like we have a deadline to worry about, right?). I was thinking of painting the ceiling a light blue and painting the walls cream, but Christian isn't sold on that idea. What do y'all think? I still need to pick out some sort of chair and a lamp, so recs are welcome!
