Taking Shape and Color

Monday, May 26th, 2008

Bright and early Saturday morning Erin and I went to Home Depot and picked up what painting supplies that we needed so that we could begin the baby room decoration process. My 10am my grandparents and I were well under our way in painting McKinna’s room. By mid afternoon the room had been primed and painted.

Everyone was very happy with the way that it turned out. As an aside, I now have a great appreciation for professional painters. Being an amateur and OCD don’t go very well together. I had to do a few touch ups yesterday and today. I just want to make sure that everything is perfect.

This morning since all the paint has dried and most of the touch-ups complete Erin started putting up some of the room decors for McKinna and I must admit that the base color she picked out goes amazing with the accent colors.

I can’t wait to get more of her furniture and pictures on the walls.

From Guest Room to Baby’s Room

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Well things are definitely moving along at casa de Wiles. Currently McKinna’s room was our guest room and the downstairs room is/was my office. In order to get her room ready we needed to move the guest room “theme” downstairs.

Last weekend I cleaned and repainted my office a more neutral color. It is the same color as the baby’s room so that I can always be reminded of her. I then moved the bed from McKinna’s room into my office and we bought a small flat screen TV to go in my office/guest room.

Confused yet?

We are waiting for the new bedframe to come in this weekend for the downstairs. Last night I taped the baby’s room and moved what furniture we are keeping in there out of the way so that I can paint her room this weekend.

We are very excited about it!!!!! My grandparents are being so kind as to help me in this milestone. I hope you like your room McKinna.
