The closet's progress: slow, but in the works.

Poor Han. His room is a straight up mess! I guess, generally speaking, new mamas tend to have the whole nursery business under wraps pre-baby. I'd like to think I'm going against the grain, but really I'm just f-ing lazy. And by the time I get home from work, all I want to do is hang with my lil' beasty and watch him Franken-baby walk to me with a goofy grin and let him crawl all over me. Talk about a great way to decompress from a day at the office. Ah.

Danny and I are trying to tackle it on the weekends, but it's hard to paint a closet when you have a baby who needs to take naps in that room. We managed to get the ball rolling though last weekend. We painted a first coat, which is the same color as his room even though it looks darker.

We also need to patch a couple of holes in there. Hopefully by Saturday the second coat will be finished. It took us maybe an hour to paint, but that's only because we had to prep. We did debate on which color to paint the closet. Originally we were going to do something darker - see blue swatches below:

Behr's Harbor was what the room originally was pre-Han Bon (one of our nicknames for him). It's a great color. I miss it actually. Maybe when we own a home I can incorporate it somewhere. We decided on Benjamin Moore's Blue Macaw, but then I saw this:

And I thought, we could do that! All they used was painter's tape. How hard is it to paint a triangle? Well, we'll see this weekend - ha! I just want to do the mountains. A circular sun/moon sitch just adds too much stress; plus, the space is rather small. We'll probably only paint 3 mountains close together. I'm thinking the one in the foreground will be Blue Macaw, the one mid-background will be Clearspring Green, which is the same as Han's crib color, and the one in the way back will be Revere Pewter...maybe. Funny side note, we chose Han's crib color by using the Benjamin Moore Color Capture app. That app is awesome! Anyhoots, we matched the color to the print below.

Gotta love Boba Fett. It's a print we have yet to hang in his room. Baby steps, folks. Ok, back to the closet. Not sure if we'll do snow-caps. I think we'll paint the first mountain and see how it goes. I think if we do snow-caps it'd be better to paint them Clearspring Green as an accent and the mid-background mountain Rockport Gray. Although, we have a ton of leftover paint so the possibilities are almost endless. It would be kinda fun to do a hot pink like the one above, but we don't have that in our arsenal of paints. Here's hoping we get it done this weekend! 

It's starting to make me twitch that we haven't finished that room yet. I guess that means I should kick my booty into gear and crack it out this weekend!
