Baby's Room

Our original idea for the baby's room was do a chair rail with trim pices from the chair rail to the base board. The trim would have been something like this, but different colors:

To do this we would have had to change out the baseboards. So we decided to go a different route. We are going to do crown molding and a chair rail still. Under the chair rail we're doing to do large squares in a checker board pattern. The squares would look something like this:

We're thinking two colors only for the squares, but we're still talking about that. We are going to do all white furniture and the top of the chair rail will be a cream color. It's a very dark room so we're trying to make it as light as possible. Once we know the sex i'm going to bring in the blanket from the bedding we want and have them match the paint color to it. Dave's co-worker Brooks said he'd help with the trim and crown molding and my dad is going to help with the paint. Dave wanted to do hard wood floors in there, but i don't think we're gona do that. At some point we might do hardwood floors in the entire upstairs, but i think we'll wait to we an afford to do all of it, rather then room by room.

The guest room will stay the same, and is the temporary holding place for all the baby stuff we have so far. I will admit i went a little overboard. But i'm done now. No more baby stuff until after the shower, I promised Dave.
