Nursery Update part 2 - Painting stripes!

So this won't be a tutorial of how to paint stripes just because I am being lazy right now and not wanting to write out the details but all I did was google search "how to paint stripes on the wall" and picked the tutorial that I thought seemed easiest to me and I followed the steps.  I will do a follow up with a before/after post because while I am typing this post my wonderful hubby is in the room painting the stripes ;)  I am just so anxious and excited to pull off the tape and see how it turns out! John put down the base color which was just Behr's powdered snow and the stripes will be Behr's natural gray.  This room started off a dark pink color(from previous owners) which I really didnt like even if I were to have had a girl because it made the room feel so small and the color was just overwhelmingly pink.  So I am sooo happy to be getting this done now even though we have lived here for nearly 3 years...feels so great to be able to use this space that has been wasted for so long.  We pretty much used the spare room as a room to pile all of our junk in or stuff that didn't have a place to go so I have done lots and lots of purging things we dont use and just keeping what we need and it feels great.  Having too much "stuff" just weighs me down sometimes and I prefer openess and less clutter in this 1800 square feet humble abode of ours!  My mentality has truly changed in a lot of ways over the years and I do feel for me "less is best"!  I would much prefer a few things I love and use often then a bunch of stuff that rarely serves a purpose or gets touched.  If I haven't used it since we have lived in this house it either got tossed in the trash or boxed for goodwill/yardsale.  Can't wait to go through the entire house little by little and purdge!

 

Here I am taping off the stripes...I wanted to help somehow since John is doing all the painting so I did the measuring and taping. 

 

 

 

 

I had the best & cutest little helper as well (below)! 

 

So more to come next post with after pictures.  I often forget to take any before pictures but I will have to look for one with the pink on the wall. 

 

Lastly I got all of the clothes organized for the most part.  I hung up the current clothes he will be wearing and boxed up 4 boxes of different size groups and just taped on labels that I made on the computer and laminated and the boxes are on the top shelf in his closet. 

 

 

Lastly here I am at 32 weeks along taken last week. I didn't do an update but not much has changed other than my weight going up!
