Waiting for paint - the nursery update

So I have no updated pictures since my last nursery post since the room looks about the same from far away. If you look closely, though, you can see that a lot of work took place this weekend!

As I mentioned on the previous post, the walls had been painted with a super-textured paint at some point. Well, the people who did this weren't careful and painted that texture right up on the crown moldings as well! Also, the previous owners had wired the phone lines on the baseboards and then painted over it. The meant when we pulled the phone lines off, there was a rough paint ridge going around the room!

Well, thanks to Mr. Rhody, those issues have been resolved now. The wood has all been smoothed down, the cracks in the ceiling have been patched, and the skim coat the plasterers put on has been sanded. We're ready for paint!

This weekend, we also picked out new light fixtures for the nursery and our other room. While the nursery light fixture had that cool retro thing going, I really do prefer fixtures that are flush to the ceiling to limit the detritus that gets caught in the glass. We went pretty cheap and got a 2-pack from Home Depot for something that we figured would blend into the room easily.

Next weekend, we'll start priming and hopefully painting the ceiling! There still feels like there's so much to do, but I know we'll get there!
