Wondering what you are looking at? Yeah, me too. Stop staring.

Actually, this picture is the result of many weeks of manual labor. These are the painted walls and a few of the new ceiling panels that have been installed. (Where there is white on the walls is where trim will be, so don’t go getting picky about my paint job.)

If you look at this and wonder “What the..?” don’t worry, you aren’t the only ones. I think that this creative vision is one that will only be realized by people who aren’t involved in the creative process once the job is complete. Heck, I only fully got the concept last night when we put in the second panel.

Our inspiration for the baby’s room came from this chair. The ceiling is a larger version of the stripes on the slipcover.

We would like to thank Home Depot and Behr for the provision of the best color matching kiosk that we have ever seen. We took the slip cover in and were able to scan in each color from the stripes and the colors that the kiosk returned to us were perfect matches! If you are someone who cares, here are the colors and where they will be used:
Dreaming Blue (Walls)
Tropical Splash (Walls and Ceiling)
Skyline Steel (Trim & Ceiling)
Winter Lake (Ceiling)
Neptune Blue (Ceiling)
Stone Fence (Ceiling)
White (Ceiling and possibly the closet)

We still have several steps to go in this process, but getting the ceiling panels up last night was a great accomplishment. Not only did it get some of the wood out of our way, but it is instant gratification. And since the ceiling is the first element of the room that D thought of, it is neat that it is coming out so well.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go find the Tylenol.
