slowly but surely

So this was Liam's room when we moved into the house back in 2009. Blue and Yellow seemed great for him and it matched his bedding so we left it just as it was.

However, I wanted something different for this up and coming little "squirt" and since I am due in 6 weeks nick and I set out to paint the room last night. Of course it is NOT finished yet, because we do NOT know what we are having. So I decided to go neutral(sort of a dark neutral), and then once the baby is born I will add a color to the room. Also above the crib will go the baby's name in wooden brown letters. Of course can't do anything with that just yet either.

As you may notice there is a BLUE fitted sheet on the bed currently and perhaps thats because I think this is a boy. This way it is all ready, but if for some crazy reason i am wrong and out comes a little girl, a fitted bed sheet is WAY easier to change than the paint on the wall. I have blinds for the room, they just aren't hung yet, and I hope to get some sort of curtain too at some point.
