Bebe Room Excitement!!

So I had decided awhile ago that I wanted to paint the extra room where our little bebe will rest his sweet little head. We live in a trailer that has all wood paneling on the wall, but it is possible to paint over it. I thought to myself, "hey, it will be a good project to keep you busy until the bebe comes". So my little sister Katie came to visit a few weeks ago and I recruited her to help me. My dear older sister Amber gave me all of my nephew's decorations from when he was a baby, and so I thought I would paint according to those decorations. Well, I painted before I actually saw them (I had seen them 4 years ago in his room, but not since). And I went with too bright of a blue, and a bright yellow that is only an accent color in the decorations. So I wasn't too happy with the color but I didn't want to go through painting it all over again so I thought I would just leave it.
Then my sister in law Destiny was over here visiting Randolph for the weekend, and she is wanting to start doing her own custom painting business (she has done lots of great stuff for family and friends, and I just added a link to her blog to see her stuff, CHECK IT OUT!!) and we started talking about what she would do on the wall to go with my decorations. Then she said, "well what the heck!? I'm already here, might as well go do it." And let me tell you, she did such an amazing job. She did this in just a matter of a few hours. She really is great and I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for that kind of work. So here are some pictures of when my little sister was here and we were painting the paneling, and the pictures of the 2 little murals Destiny did on the wall that will be above the crib. Also, I thought I would throw in a picture of me at 22 weeks pregnant, I know....I'm not very big...but it's also my first pregnancy and every woman looks different pregnant. :)
