Alright, I'm finally declaring my nursery "good enough" for the baby! There's still some picture frames to hang, but I quit! And here's the "end" result:

What an adorable room! The book shelf and name art are so lovely and I my first thought was your baby is going to love those windows! They are the perfect height for peeking out!

Sooo pretty! I love all the natural light you get in the room! We saved a specific bedroom for the nursery just for all the lovely light it gets

Thank you, thank you!!! I'm so happy with how everything turned out!!! Can't wait for there to be a baby in there!!!
@grizz: Have you opened the box your crib came in? Our first one was actually broken and we had to return it and get a replacement! Just don't want the same thing to happen to you (or for you at least to have plenty of time to get a new one)!

@BabyBoecksMom: The grey is Behr's Flint Smoke (730F-4) and the turquoise is Behr's Mermaid Treasure (500B-5)
@Mrs. Jacks: The stripe wasn't too hard - putting the tape up was probably the hardest part. We did a 20" stripe, which includes the white, so we measured from the floor up to the bottom of the stripe and the top of the stripe. We put a pencil mark on the wall every couple feet and then did the tape. Making sure the tape was straight and not drooping was probably the hardest part, but the way we did it was having us pull out a long enough piece of tape and everyone hold it taught, and then I went from one side to the other, flattening it to the wall so that I felt it was straight/level. And then I took a putty knife to it to make sure it was smooth. Once the tape was up, we did the grey above and below and then did the turquoise in the middle.
Oh, I should also note that after we primed the room, we did a white coat where the tape/turquoise would go to get that white stripe to pop above and below the turquoise. Priming and the white happened a week before we taped and did the rest.
