our latest home project = the nursery

Step 1. find out the genders of the babies

Step 2. search Pinterest and google images for twin baby boy nursery ideas

Step 3. choose a theme/colors for the room

Step 4. find a handy man who has home improvement know-how (luckily I didn't have to search very far)

Step 5. watch handy man take the ceiling fan down, plastic the walls, scrape down the popcorn ceiling, texture the ceiling, paint the ceiling

Step 6. measure and mark the wall for painting stripes

Step 7. tape off the stripes

Step 8. pick out paint colors at Lowe's

Step 9. stay away from the paint smell as the striped wall and other 3 walls were painted

Step 10. admire paint job

Step 11. find wall decals on amazon.com (also find cute hamper and lamp in the meantime) and eagerly anticipate their arrival

Step 12. carefully place decals on walls

Current Step:  wait for babies  :)
