Painting The Nursery
The baby is due in just over 7 weeks so it’s time for me to kick things into over drive with the nursery. Last week I finished building the chair rail so today I started painting the nursery. The walls will have two colors, below the chair rail will be a light green and above will be a light shade of pink (yes it’s a girl!). The green paint was already on the wall from when we built the house. The other night I finished painting the chair rail so today I started priming the walls.
Since the upper portion of the wall is already a light green I decided to apply a primer before adding the light pink. I used PrepRite 200 Latex Primer by Sherwin-Williams. The primer will allow the pink paint to cover better and look like the sample color. One of the most important things to consider when painting is the brushes and rollers you’re going to use. Don’t skimp on the rollers, using 99 cent rollers will leave you with a nice “textured” wall with tons of lint stuck to the finished paint coat. I like to use Purdy rollers, they give a great even finsh and shed little to no lint. I plan on one coat of the primer and two coats of the latex egg shell wall color.

The nursery looks great. I’m about to go upstairs and test out some shades of green in our new nursery. We’ve got about 8 weeks until the baby arrives.
