Georgia's Nursery

We had a lot of fun doing this girly nursery. I knew I wanted gold, grays, white and a little pink.  We did the gold striped walls (inspired by the backside of a Christmas card we got!) pretty soon after finding out it was a girl. We used a mustard yellow base color followed by Martha Stewarts metallic gold paint from Home Depot. There are 64 tape lines. It took forever to tape. Maybe 3 days, because it was such a tiring process we needed a lot of breaks!

(I should've straightened the crib skirt. its bugging me.) The tassel garlands were used at my baby shower. The crib skirt was Everetts, I sewed white ruffles onto it.

Polka Dot Dining Room

Our dining set has always been a hand me down from my parents. It was great and served its purpose for what we needed, and it also gave us time to save money for what we really wanted. We have done a lot to our home since we moved in 3 years ago, and mainly done most of the work since Christmas time. Chris and I could not decide on how to paint the kitchen nook, like we got into multiple fights at Home Depot over this. He wanted a metallic wall, I wanted bead board. I think Chris caved on this one, but we finally decided on a polka dot wall with subtle metallic dots. He still makes fun of this wall and wants to do another pallet wall in place of the polka dots, but I adore this wall. This room has become easily my favorite in the whole house.

Here is was the room looked like upon moving in 3 years ago:

Its sooo bad, isnt it!

We have since retiled, repainted, and gotten the new set and light fixture. The farmhouse style table is from DownEast Home, as well as the metal chairs. The yellow wooden chairs are from Ikea, and painted. The metal light fixture is from Home Depot.
