Painting The Nursery

A couple weeks ago one of our bedrooms got a paint upgrade so that it can become a nursery! When we bought our house, the previous owners had painted every wall white. When we moved in, I painted an accent wall in the room; but all the walls could use a refresh.

Since we wanted the room to be gender neutral, Brad and I decided to go with a grey and white paint theme. We had some grey left over from previous painting projects, but headed to the hardware store to pick out a fresh and bright white! We decided to paint 3 of the walls (and the closet) white, and then make one of the walls grey with stripes. Brad had a great idea that we’ll add the stripes once we know the gender and use that to pull some more color into the room.

Painting The Nursery - a grey and white nursery begins.HomeRight sent me a couple awesome products to help with painting the nursery – The QuickPaint Pad Edge Painter and the PaintStick EZ-Twist Paint Roller!  Both of these products hold the paint in their handles which helps contain the mess and makes painting easier.

I’m terrible at painting along walls (when there are 2 different colors) or ceilings because I tend to get distracted and then end up with “clouds” onto the ceiling. This edger is great for me because it guides the paint into the proper location, even when I get distracted.

It holds the paint in the handle and then as you push it out, the paint comes through perforated holes directly onto the roller. Plus the roller is then on an extended stick which means you can get up towards the ceiling without needing a ladder or step-stool.

  3. See, I pretty much loathe painting, but these rollers are pretty cool! They look like they make easy work of it. :) If I was finally going to break down and paint, it would be in our bedroom. The walls look awful in there from the previous tenants.

  4. Love the colors that you went with! And the idea with the stripes once you know the gender is awesome :) We have some painting to do in our house (hopefully for a nursery soon, too!) and these tools seem perfect for it

  8. That’s such a cool tool for painting! The room sounds like it’s coming along nicely. I love the idea of painting stripes once you know the gender. I love the rolling cart for storage, too!

  14. All of these cool tools almost makes it seem like cheating! Who knew painting could be easier! I have a bachelor pad that needs a girls touch here!

  16. we’re building a new house, and WE’RE going to do all the painting!! its going to be a big task
