TTC After a Loss
Since I'm not KU - I'm thinking of painting the office/nursery
I found a paint technique I want to do in what is currently my office and was to have been, and will hopefully one day be, the nursery.
It involves a lot of different paint colors and is a PITA to do, so I know my DH won't really have the patience for it after I am KU. Right now the room is my office and so I'm free to do whatever I want in there, and actually the paint idea I'm thinking of would actually work really well for an office as well.
Do you think its crazy and that it would just drive me nuts to do it now? I know that I would not be thinking of painting it now if we weren't actively ttc because frankly we have too many other house projects that would take priority. But I honestly don't think it will get done unless I do it myself...which I would be reluctant to do if I was already KU....

Well I actually just did that this weekend! So I would recommend doing it
It made me feel so much better, the room is ready except for furniture, I will not have to worry about DH's terrible painting (the boy cannot color inside the lines).
It also made me feel like even though we aren't able to TTC yet, I am still doing something to work towards and prepare for our future family. And that makes me feel good!
I say go for it! We've considered going ahead and painting our nursery as well and while we don't want all the furniture we were thinking of at least finding a rocker and a dresser for the room since we have a few baby things and nowhere to put them. We figured it could be a quiet place to relax and remember our babies and dream about the ones still to come!

exactly!!! I actually painted what will be the nursery the week after the m/c. i needed something to do, and i like big projects. I cried the whole time I painted, but it was my way of saying goodbye while staying positive.

woah!!!! sorry there with all the posts. i did something weird on the keyboard and it looks like it posted every time i hit the space bar.
did NOT mean to do that!
Magpie - I actually demolished our master bathroom the week after our m/c...it needed to be done anyway, and that is when we had planned to do it but it certainly was an added bonus of allowing me to release my emotions in a very physical way.
tctibbe - What colors are you going with? I agree that it definitely gives me something to do and I'm excited that I'd actually get to participate.
Since I feel creepy over on the nursery board I'll run the idea by here...
One wall of argyl type diamonds, with the main color being a soft gold, and the then incorporating green, blue, and red (and possibly purple). Then I'm trying to determine if I want to do the other three walls in the soft gold (the curtains are going to be gold because I already have the fabric left over from when I made the curtains for our dining room). or if that would be way too much gold.
If the other three walls aren't gold I'm thinking of going with the green on the other walls. Its definitely gender neutral, and coordinates well with my current office furniture, which is all art-deco wood.
We love and miss you Jillian (18w) and Peanut (6w). Welcome to our TAC miracle Jacob!
