Nursery Update

We have been working on the nursery all week. I know I had written earlier that I wanted to do a Pirate theme, ala Peter Pan and the Pirates. But that was before we found out that there simply aren’t any nursery bedding that was based on Peter Pan.

But my wife is a huge fan of Sea Turtles. We even went to a turtle farm in the Grand Caymans on our honeymoon. We found a great sea turtle nursery bedding set and decided to paint the nursery to match it. The quilt shows the colors and turtles below.

So after getting the chair rails in and painted, we painted the walls. It was a cornflower blue below the chair rail, a lime yellow above, with turquoise waves hand painted springing from the top of the chair rail.

We also replaced all of the outlet covers and the light switch cover.

We also found an adorable giant stuffed sea turtle at a local toy store in Arlington. We brought it home and plan on hanging it from the ceiling to provide a cool 3-D offset for the rest of the room.

Next we will hand-paint turtles on the walls, along with some scattered starfish to match the crib sheets and comforter. We also have some really cute wooden turtles that we plan on hanging on the walls as well. I will provide more photos as we near completion.

Now if we can just get our furniture delivered….
