Gherkin's room has come a long way since the initial stripes were laid out and painted. We've since installed some no-sew curtains, put together the crib, spray painted the dresser (that came in the wrong color originally), and changed the overall color theme of the room.
Originally I had preferred a yellow/grey blend in the room, but Craig wants the colors of the painting to be highlighted. So I bought a teal velvet chair. Not being one for rocking chairs, I just wanted something smaller and lower to the ground so I could actually touch my toes to the carpet while feeding the little one.
Target came to the rescue with this nicely priced ($225) mid-century feeling arm chair. It was super easy to assemble, and has a nice texture that I think Gherkin will enjoy.
Then we had the dresser arrive, in the wrong shade of white. It was really more of a peachy brown, then a true or antiqued white. We debated sending it back, but as we had already unpackaged it, we decided to do the next best thing - spray paint it.
I shall be posting a how- to at some point during this century. But in the meantime - we settled on a tealy-aquamarine. It reads more green in person, and picks up on the color of the water in the painting nicely.
Now for some room finishing things, like shelves and a few more pieces of art.
