Baby Room - Project #1

I'm going to be honest with you.  I've been dreading this project for a little while.  Majority of the reviews online said that the finished project is great, but getting there is quite the head ache.  This is by far our largest project for the baby's room.  Room decorations are going to be a lot more low key that Amos' room.  I know, the second child always gets jipped!  However, that doesn't mean that it's not going to be a cool room!

I'm not going to give a step-by-step how to do this because the company actually does a pretty good job laying it all out.  There's even a video online, which we watched.

Yesterday, we did prep work - painted the one wall with a KILZ primer so that the mural would attach well to the wall.

This morning, we laid Amos down for his first nap and got started first thing this morning.  Based on the reviews, we knew it could take anywhere from 2 to 5 hours!  We were hoping more for 2.  And sure enough, after 2 hours, we had hung 4 of the 8 panels.  However, a lot more went into getting the paste, panels and wall ready, so we were feeling good.

Jason in action!

We decided to try Amos out it the pack-n-play ball pit!  He had fun playing & watching us work!

I told him that I wasn't getting enough "Ohhing" and Ahhing" for him!  He didn't care.

Thirty minutes later, everything was hung.  We broke for lunch, played and then put Amos down for his afternoon nap.  This allowed up to finish up the last details of gluing down all the edges.  They wanted to curl up.

After we finished, Jason and I stepped back and "Ohhed" and "Ahhed" at our work!  Can't wait to finish all the rest of the projects.  My goal is by the end of summer.  We'll see if that happens!
