Callyann's Surf Shack

Yay! We finally finished the nursery...not to mention the office, dining room, guest bath, and guest bedroom. Remember all of those pictures of painting in the earlier posts? Well, check out a few of the updated pictures below of our progress. I'm so glad that we got this all done before my belly grew to the size...well, let's just say before it got to big to be able to move and be useful. Lord knows I can't have Brian doing things on his own...my control freak nature would just jump right out and pounce on him...and that wouldn't be fair, now would it?! :o)

We decided since Cally's parents are originally from Cali, we would do a surfer themed room...and I must say, it came out even better than what I had imagined! Thank you to my mom (Nana G) for suplying the crib, the soon to come: changing dresser and tall dresser, and of course the super cute surfer bedding! Thank you also to my sister, Jess, for supplying the glider and ottman as well as the mobile. Speaking of the mobile, Brian has aptly named the surfer bears: Bodhi and Special Agent Johny Utah, and the hula bears: Wahini and Gidget....sigh....cute, isn't he?!

We just love the paint job! Sand dunes and sea grasses on the bottom, the horizon of the ocean, and the sky complete with flying birds and puffy clouds. Even "Windy" our Costa Rican wind chime that we picked up on our honeymoon made it to the palm tree...along with signs letting you know exactly wich way the luau and ticki bar are located. Some grass skirts for curtains, a surfboard clock, shelves with various nick-nacks, and my favorite, the hula girl lamp from Hawaii complete the room. And the best part?.....we won't have to change it for kid #2! Dang, I'm smart :o) Check out pics below...
