The painters and the carpenters began this week. I love my built in wall unit! They had them done in a day, and I can't wait to see them painted pure white. I'm striving for the pottery barn catalog here. Can you tell? If only I had the Pacific Ocean outside the window.I am having one change, and that is to remove the three rectangle panels across the bottom because it looks too formal for the nursery. I just wanted simple beadboard under the window, but the carpenters got creative with the extra trim. It's difficult to ask a talented craftsman to change something especially when it does look very nice, just not what I had in mind for the nursery. Maybe a library or formal dining, but I wanted to keep these looking a little more casual and fun. Once it's all painted white and I get the hardware on the cabinet doors it will take on just the look I am after. Can't wait 'til Saturday, that's when they said they will be done with everything and the real fun begins. I am normally very hands on, but I can't do any of this work. I can decorate, though!
