The twin's nursery is finally in the making!

We are finally getting somewhere with the girl's nursery! We had a lot of work to do before we could get started, such as emptying and throwing out 5 years worth of useless crap that had piled up in what used to be Chris' office. That alone took forever because we had to go through all of it, decide what to keep/throw out, and then find a place for what we decided we needed to hold onto. Once this was complete, Chris had to pull down the hideous border that was put up by the previous owners. I swear it was put on with cement! It was sooooo hard to remove. He then had to apply texture to the wall that was underneath the border. Anyhow...all the prep took a while and the painting is finally underway!

And...after many hours of internet browsing and looking at numerous baby shops, I have finally decided on baby bedding for Emily and Allie. It is sooooo freakin cute, although it isn't what I set out for in the beginning. I originally had my mind set on a vintage/antique, floral, shabby chic, very girly type of theme. That was until I went out to Lone Star Baby in Dallas. I found THE CUTEST bedding ever. The pictures don't really do it justice because it makes it look all faded and drab. It is actually pretty bright and cheery. I think if you click on the picture, it will get nice and big for you to see. It has about 3 different shades of pink, kind of a limey green, brown, and cream. It has several different prints including polka dots, paisley, stripes, and solids. It has ruffles and ribbons, too...which I LOVE cause I'm all about the really girly girly stuff right now. The minute I saw it I knew it was for my girls! Although I would love to do stripes or polka dots or something fancy with the paint, we aren't going into too much detail with the walls. We don't know exactly how long we will be here because it's gonna be a tight fit with 5 people in a 3 bedroom house (plus Chris no longer has a home office). So for now, we are just doing three creamish-tan walls and one pink accent wall. The 2 cribs will go up against the pink wall and I'm gonna do their names in wooden letters painted brown with lime green polka dots (the same print as the crib sheets). I hope it all comes together like I'm picturing!
