The BBC Nursery Project

Last fall, my dear friend Sue and I started working on re-doing the chapel nursery. I forgot to take an official "Before" picture, but here is one in the midst of stripping the old wall paper:

The plain white walls looked so much better!

In April, the upper portion of the walls were painted:

On Saturday (a year after we started!) we finished painting, and on Sunday, Jonathan put the trim back up for us. We're not totally done, but close enough to show off some pictures:



We love the feel of the room now.  It is a wonderfully warm, comfortable, relaxing room for mamas and babies.  
There are some lovely faux wood blinds behind the beautiful valance Sue made. One of the things we still need to do is make a curtain for the window, for when privacy is needed (for brides using it as a changing room and such). I'm sure I'll post pictures when we're completely done, but, as you can tell, we're giving ourselves (as mothers of 6 and 7 children) lots of grace on the timing of this project!
