This is what we had to work with upon move in. Lovely pistachio color walls, wasted space between the closets, no ceiling light wiring, and dirty dirty dirty. The previous owners of this house smoked for about 15 years, so there was much cleaning and priming in our future!
Our general project list: Board & Batten up 60% of the wall, Building a ToyBox/Window Bench in the empty space between the windows, Painting the insides of the closets, and Running wires through the attic so a chandelier could be intalled. And we had all of 1 1/2 months to complete it before my baby shower, which was being held at our house!!

The big project in the nursery was the Board & Batten. This could be a post all it's own, but as I am new to this blog thing, I don't have pictures to show step-by-step. There are some fabulous sites that helped us do this project correctly. This is a great one.
Ok, back to me. You are able to see in this picture how we set up for the project. First, we took down the closet doors and painted the walls. The gray paint color is Route 66 by Dutch Boy. Both Home Depot and Lowes has this color in their computer, which is where I purchased it from. The closests we wanted to give a special touch to for our special girl, so we painted just the inside pink, of course! The paint color is Possibly Pink by Behr.

After many late nights, and expensive trips to Home Depot, this is the finished Board & Batten. I love how it turned out, thanks so the hard work of my husband, and our devoted friends and family. Pete, Mike, Dad (both!), and Katie...THANK YOU!!

Here are some of the design elements I used when decorating her room. When possible, I included the link to the product and the price.
Pink Heart Crystal Chandelier: Ebay.com $119
I absolutely LOVE how this looks in the room. It was probably as difficult to put together as the Board & Batten project was to complete. Seriously, the instructions are completely useless. Use the YouTube video on how to put this together. It's worth it, once it's done!
