Is it sad?

that I love the nursery better without a crib in it? It's so big, it covers up the pretty walls we spent so much time on and the color is just a little too light for my taste with the walls, I think it might clash. I feel like it needs to be either SUPER dark or really light. Once we have more stuff in there though I think I'll like it better...there isn't much in there yet...in fact just the crib, but I wanted to show what we've been working on the last week and a half. We didn't like the original white, so we painted a brighter one, then we thought the boards and wall looked dingy next to the chair rail so we painted it yet another white, all in all 3 different whites before we decided on the white it is now, who knew white would turn out to be the problem color!

Carleton has been amazing about putting crown molding in the ENTIRE house, he's quite handy with a miter saw (who knew!) and loves all the projects we've done to beautify the house. I haven't taken pictures of the other rooms because I feel like there's always ONE MORE THING I want to do (ie: living room, hang up-after we get it framed- our 15x30 eiffel tower picture). In our bedroom I want to hang up a couple things, including make a multi canvas piece of art and refinish all of our furniture black, but what we've done with our bedroom so far looks awesome! At least I think it does:) Maybe I'll put up the works in progress since that's what I'm doing with the nursery!

Starting out with nothing but some paint swatches in the corner:
