Baby's Room

To prepare for Baby Knutson's arrival, we have been getting her room ready. The past 2 Saturday's our painter came over, and this week Bryan and I have been working on installing the ceiling fan and chair rail. It looks amazing! We love it! So here are some before and after pics:
Plain white wall:

Same wall, but painted:

Same wall, but with STRIPES and chair rail!
(This is the wall the crib will go on)

This is wall the short dresser/changing pad will go on:
(you can see the trim from the door on the left)

The 3rd wall (didn't want it to feel left out of the photo shoot,
plus you can see the fan we installed!)
The tall dresser will go to the right of the window.

The 4th wall is the closet, sorry, no pics of that....

The stripes in the room are very subtle. When you are in the room you really have to be at the right angle to see them at all. I was very excited that they showed up so well in the pictures.
The story behind the paint colors: Bryan and I have been very into orange lately. We decided on burnt orange and khaki long before we knew it was a girl, but I think she will like it. Since we knew we wanted orange, we actually picked out the bedding that would match the room, instead of the other way around! We have a few accessories that match our bedding already, and it goes perfectly.

The finishing touches to the room will come quickly- blinds are finally ordered, but won't be here until early February.... but the furniture is getting delivered tomorrow! Woo hoo!
