Good Bye Nursery, Hello Big Girl Room

Rob started painting Leah's room last weekend, but when I came down with pink eye, he had to put that project on hold. I needed him to take care of Leah, which made it hard to get anything else done. He picked up where he left off last night. He was up until almost midnight getting it done. We were pretty frustrated with the paint we bought. We got the Behr paint that is supposed to be a primer and paint all in one. They claim only one coat is needed. (We were painting over a greenish color, which was not very dark). Well, four coats later we still had spots of green peaking through on the walls. At $30 a gallon, we ended up going through 4 gallons in her small little room. Rob had to do several touch ups, but in the end Leah's room ended up looking great! It's a little bright on the eyes, but it is a little girl's room afterall!

Leah's new furniture was scheduled to be delivered today. Our delivery window was 10:00 am - 1:00 pm, so I was pleasantly surprised when our doorbell rang at 9:55 am and there was a Cribs to College truck in our driveway. This almost never happens, having your delivery show up exactly on time! We thought for sure it wouldn't arrive until 12:50 pm. They were great. They brought everything up to her room and assembled all of the furniture within a half hour and then they were on their way! Since they were finished up early, it gave us some time to go shop around for more stuff for Leah's room. We had already bought a few things (her bedding and a some things for her walls) but we were on the hunt for more accessories. While her room is not completely done, here is a sneak peak of what we have so far!

In a way, it kind of made me sad. This is definitely not a "baby's" room anymore. My little girl is all grown up! She was SOOOOO excited about her new room. I just hope she is as excited to sleep in there tonight! We need to get bedrails for her bed too, definitely don't need her falling out of her big girl bed!
