Maddie's room - Paint and fan

In the last post I told you all about my inspiration pillow and some of the plans for Madelyn's nursery. Since then we have actullay done quite a bit. The pillow came in a few days after I ordered it and I have been taking it everywhere in my purse. Last weekend, Shawn and I went and picked out some paint colors. We got two samples that we painted on the wall and came up with our color, Oyster Bisque. The next day we got the paint and picked out a ceiling fan. My first choice was to go with a chandilier light in her room, but I had read many articles about ceiling fans and the reduction of SIDS, so ceiling fan it was!

I am not the most patient person when it comes to paint and to be quite honest it's probably my least favorite thing to do. My impatience with painting just frustrates Shawn, so he wanted to do it himself -- fine by me! He worked little by little through the week and finished up Friday night with both the paint and the fan.

After work on Friday I stopped off at JoAnn's to get some of the things to make the letters for her name. I got most of them painted this weekend and hope to finish that project up this week or next.

On Sunday I cleaned up the room and put her furniture back in the right place. We got all of our furniture from one of my colleagues for a great price. It's an entire set from Pottery Barn kids and we paid a quarter of the retail.

We had gotten a target gift card for Maddie a few weeks ago, so I decided to venture out today and pick up a few things for her. I almost have her crib all ready and her diaper changing station!

I took some picture this morning of the paint, fan, and furniture. In the next post you can see the crib and diaper station.
