I really wanted to show progress pictures on our bathroom, but plumbing problems got in the way. Seriously, anything to do with water or electricity is just the pits in this house. Anyways, I hope I can show you some of the bathroom progress next week. Also, sorry for being MIA this week. We had friends from Columbia come and stay with us. We did two crazy fun-filled days with three kiddos under four. We had a blast, but all of us were seriously pooped after so much fun.
So, what did we paint you ask? We got Greyson's room painted (plus another room but I won't spill the details on that yet!). I went with Benjamin Moore Decorator's White. I wanted a neutral white because I want to be able to pull off the crazy bold colors in the curtains (without going crazy myself).
Before (baby blue gray tone):
After:
Not a huge difference, but you do see it.
I'm slightly underwhelmed with the paint color. I feel like it pulls blue a little too much, but I'm living with it. I'm hoping that it will be more of a cool white when I get the rest of the components working cohesively in his room. Cross your fingers for me.
Oh and if you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen me dig something out of the garage; that something being a wagon.
It's holding books right now, but that may change once we get a few more pieces of furniture in the room. I could see it holding duplos, cars, buses, etc.
Oh and one more thing, remember those roman shades I was talking about possibly putting up in the room? Well, it took buying three different sets of them, but we settled on a pair. It's all about little things, right?
Hope you all have a great weekend. Luke and I are child-free, so if you don't see some amazing progress being made, please kick me. =)

I LOVE (really LOVE) the books in the wagon! We store my daugther's books in a old vintage camera case, but we are running out room....the wagon is an awesome solution.

Omg! I LOVE the wagon full of books. Too cute! My sister painted her loving room decorators white and felt the same way--she is now repainting hers.

Thanks! I wish I had found people that weren't in love with the Decorator's White. It seems like there is an overall love of it in blog land. Hmm, repainting will probably happen at some point. =)

Love the wagon with the books under the window. So cute! It reminds me so much of our son's nursery - we have a bunch of his books in an antique toolbox under his window. Definitely on the lookout for a great wagon when I hit up yard sales.

Thanks Carrie! That wagon used to be my Dad's wood carrying wagon. Totally useable and the more character the better. Good luck finding one!
