The Nursery

Well, the baby’s room is finally finished. We kept the color that was already on the walls since we just painted them last year and didn’t mind them so much. After the furniture was assembled and set into the right spot, we started looking at images that we liked. We knew that we didn’t just want to pick cool designs and paint them on the wall. We really wanted them to have some meaning behind them. We ended up choosing the following silhouettes because we wanted to evoke a sense of family, nature, exploration and fun.  We know we will change or add more designs later when our son grows up but thought that this was a good start. We also painted some speech bubbles that are filled in with chalkboard paint that anyone can be creative with. (I suspect my husband and I will have more fun with this than our kid!) I was unable to snap a good picture of them but I will try later.
