One Room Challenge Fall 2015 – Week 2

Hey friends! So this week's update is pretty boring, but I have to say I'm excited about it because it means we have floors and walls. Well, we always had floors and walls, but now we have prettier versions of both! You ready for the exhilarating photos?So here's where we started last week and where we're at this week:Nursery Before - 1IMG_7763So the green walls are gone and have been replaced by a soft grey. Specifically, this is "Statuesque" by Behr. It was my favourite colour from the moment we first put the samples up on the wall!The closet is still a bit of a mess. I have some plans for it, but I keep going back and forth on a few things, and we hadn't taken the shelf and rod off just yet, so I just kind of painted around them.IMG_7765Here are some of the nursery closets that are currently inspiring me, however. I'm hoping to have a dresser in there, and most likely use it as a changing table also. I won't be putting doors back on the closet for now, so it'll be open to the rest of the room to make things a little easier to access. That also means it has to be pretty!nursery-closet-revised1IMG_4043DSC05857closet2babys-first-closet
