Painting the Nursery Mural

Pin It

Here I go again!  I'm moving sooo slowly at 35 weeks. Today, I changed the hue of the sea kelp just a bit.  I thought it was too green, so I added a light blue glaze to each and every leaf.  I like it much better now.  Dale has been out sanding the little round side table, and I think I have decided on a light bright green.  We need to get the paint and primer for that project.  It has been a wonderful weekend with my husband just kicking back and working on some of our projects together.  Now that all the big stuff is done, I know Dale is enjoying nesting with me a lot more.  He's so excited to see his son!

The Rug Is Here

My rug came today! OK, everyone, this is going to sound like an official product review from Overstock.com.  The quality of this rug is very high.  It is one of the only synthetic zebra-esque rugs on overstock.com and it doesn't have the shedding problem that I read about on all the wool rugs.  It was a lot cheaper, too.  It's the perfect size and very plush.  It actually looks and feels like a very soft wool, but it is synthetic.  I haven't noticed any strange chemical smell I was afraid of.  Then again, my DH is cooking boiled shrimp and red beans & rice with deer sausage so maybe that's why I can't really smell anything else!  Really though, it is awesome.  I loves it!
