Zen Forest Friends

The baby room is almost complete! Ryan has been working on it for months and months now, turning the once open space area of the house into two rooms - one is my office and additional guest room, and the other, a nice baby room for our little one to grow in.

We decided initially to go with an owl theme, mainly because baby has been a VERY active little night owl, doing tummy traverses between the hours of 2am and 6am. So, what better for a little night owl then a forest theme?

Lots of sweat equity went into the room as one of Ryan's many DIY (Do-It-Yourself) home projects. Old carpet was removed. A new wall was put up to create the two room spaces and all the walls were primed and then painted. We decided to go with a two-tone bamboo zen color for the baby room, which Ryan mastered the art of creating a nice partitioning line by painting with a tiny paint brush and ruler! The patience! He installed the hardwood floors and baseboards (to perfection I must add). With some room furnishings and wall decor, the baby room is pretty much ready. The finishing touch will be the crib, which we are currently waiting for the hardware to arrive.

Presenting ... baby's new room!

  2. The wall art is a combo of 5 different wall decal forest sets from Eddie Bauer, Target, Lambs & Ivy, and some other random brands. I hope baby likes it!
