Now that “Lost” is finally over for the season (or maybe it just started depending on your interpretation of the space time continuum), we broke ground on the baby’s room this past weekend. And by broke ground I mean started painting… with shovels. We chose a VERY light green color that was either called Key Lime Pants Accident or Lima Minelli; I can’t remember which. You know the color of Oscar the Grouch? Yeah, MUCH lighter than him, but just as crabby and homeless. We painted most of the day Sunday but had to turn the air down to approximately 36 degrees to counteract the 117 degree temperatures outside, and then we finished our second coat Tuesday night. If I were my Dad, we would still have three more coats to go, but being that Kim loses interest in projects after working on them 2.5 times, we will stop at the two coats and call it perfection.
Keep in mind this is only phase one of 44 phases that we have to complete before the room is even remotely inhabitable by a baby. Phase two includes installing crown molding so that our baby can live a noble life that mirrors that of Anne Boleyn. She was the one who wasn’t put to death right? I sure hope so or this crown molding is a really bad idea. Phase three has been altered from nice classic wainscoting to putting large white frames on each of the walls (which would have fully transformed the room into a dining room) to merely stenciling “cute” shapes such as stars, moons, bears or handguns around the room. This saves Nick a lot of headache in the construction department, and we both figure that as soon as the kid hits 4 he/she will no longer like any designs we have done in the room anyway.
Phases four through 44 include installing an overhead light, adding curtains, furniture, and putting in a hot tub. An eight-person luxury model with 37 jets should do the trick right? Anne Boleyn would have wanted it that way.

are you sure there's paint on those walls? why not just leave it white as you can't really tell the difference.
It is called Hint of Spring. I suppose you wanted something more along the lines of chartreuse?
