let the fun begin

Time to lighten things up.  As of right now our nursery is a spare bedroom that is the overflow room for the house.  It is filled with musical instruments, amplifiers and mics, boxes and boxes of photo albums, stuff set aside for scrapbooks and our seasonal clothing. 

If you have read my blog for any length of time it will be of no surprise to you that I will be doing our little girl's room in a garden theme.  I want to give it an Chinese garden influence while maintaining a little girl feel.  I found this table runner at the great fair trade store I do visual merchandising for.   I bought two.  I am going to use them for cornices over the window and closet and it is my starting point for the room.

I think, at this point that I am going to paint the room, a peaceful calming jade green.  I am planning on a mural on the wall or walls as well as the ceiling.  I have yet to design all that.  I want it to be a haven or rather, her own slice of Eden.

I can't wait to get started but at the same time as soon as I do it will be one more thing that will make all of this more real to me and then I'll probably think about the wait more.  This is reality though so I may as well make it fun.

Looks like a great start to a beautiful room! Sounds very pretty. Will be looking forward to seeing more. The store you work at looks very cool. Too bad I don't live out in NY. Next time I'm out there...
