I painted most of the nursery yesterday!!!

Originally we were going to have our cousin's husband do it since he is a professional painter and it takes him no time at all - but he has been flakey and we haven't heard from him...so dh went to a bacehlor party yesetrday day into night and well, whats an impatient girl to do?? - Chat Icon paint a nursery! I have to resize the pics - and we still have to do the crown molding, chair rail and ceiling (today's job...dh will do the ceiling!) but I feel so much better that its almost done!!

That sounds like fun. I love that feeling when you accomplish something big like that. So it's ok to paint? I was going to ask my dr. tomorrow. I wasn't sure about that one.

Another painter here. I thought is was mostly the fumes and smell that were an issue. And since it didn't seem to bother me, I went ahead and helped DH paint.

Re: I painted most of the nursery yesterday!!!

I actually asked my DR about painting and he said as long as it's water-based paint (NO OIL) and all the windows in the room are open with maybe a fan on if possible, it's ok!

Can't wait to see pics!!

Latex paint (water based) is perfectly fine. It took me a while to feel comfortable painting, but now I've been. I'm working on the living room right now and then it's off to the baby's room!Chat Icon
