Cody has been working hard on the nursery. The room was mauve when we moved in and we have never messed with it. We assumed Nelson 2 would be along sooner than this so we kept deciding to wait until we knew gender. "The Pink Room" has been our storage room for 2 years so it has taken a lot of work to get ready. Long story short, I wanted a baby blue room with brown stripes. Cody wanted a firestation looking room. Cody told me his ideas and I hated them. But, I have humbly learned, in the Nelson house when it comes to colors and big projects, Cody is always right. Yes, folks, I said "always right". So I protested, he ignored, and he got to work.
The top of the walls is now grey. Cody didn't like me stopping his work to take picutres.
He did brick board around the bottom.
He changed all the light fixtures from white to black with sliver diamond plating on the outside.
He put in a white chair rail and baseboards. (which I thought were too big, but once again, I was wrong) 
Carley was quite the "helper". She went in about every 10 minutes to check on dad and help. She insisted on using her tools and hammering with Cody.
We are still working on decorating so I will post more later, but I wanted to show off my cute construction man's project.

LOVE IT! The nursery looks so great!
I am glad you shared about how Cody is always right. Joe Dan is always right too, and sometimes it stinks, but mostly I am really glad he has "The Eye" because I do not.
We are planning to be in Lubbock at some point, possibly late July or early August. I'll let you know, and maybe we can hang out!
