We settled on a color, and Mr. C and our dear friend Al (hi, Al!) painted Shaggy’s room on Saturday.
They worked their asses off, and the result is …
… perfection.
I scored a great deal on the bedding - reduced price on a brand-new, in-the-package set - from eBay, and we set up the crib.
The Poo’s crib was a white spindle deal-y from Pottery Barn Kids, and I was so bummed that I was going to have to look at that white crib with maple furniture for years and years.
Then my mom suggested we take the crib she had at her house, a maple one.
It looks AWESOME.
I love the color and I love the fresh feeling of the dots. Now we wait for the rest of the furniture. The glider is already in, we’re only waiting on the dresser/changing table combo.
So … what do you think? Fit for a Shaggy Boy?

Wowie! Very pizzazi (pizzaz-ey?).
June 24th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
That looks fantastic! What a lovely nursery. I’d live there in a heartbeat. You know green is the color most often associated with genius. Did I mention it is also my favorite color?
June 24th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
It is GORGEOUS! Dude, if I was shorter, I would totally sleep in that room. Love it.
June 24th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
I love that color! It makes the walls really POP!
June 24th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
love it.
we had an apple green on jack’s nursery walls.
June 24th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
love it love it love it love it!
Yeah, it’ll do. LOL.
That is totally my favorite color right now
June 24th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
I love it. I think it is totally a fit for a boy!
June 24th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
I absolutely love it.
June 24th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
OMG sooo perfect. I want that room in my house when I have a baby.
June 24th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
So crisp and clean.
I love the dots and that little blue table? I want to knock it over, it’s so cute.
June 24th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
I love it. We have a mossy green in Fin’s room. Sure you don’t want me to send you a caddy as a gift? Maybe I’ll let you get one and I’ll send you a second just to be extravagant.
Hope you are smiling mama!
June 24th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Wonderful color! I love it. And the bedding and crib look fabulous, too! Nicely done.
June 24th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
It’s beautiful! I love the colors and I love the polka dots! So much better than the usual bunnies and bears. Good work.
June 24th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
I love it! That green is amazing!
Gorgeous stuff mama, Shaggy is one lucky little boy!
June 24th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
A brave colour, but damn it works - especially for a boy. Well done!
June 24th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
I think it looks great. Good work!
June 24th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
That looks lovely! You should paint a few large dots here and there on the walls - to coordinate with your awesome bedding.
June 24th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
I like it! And it coordinates with the blog too!
June 24th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
I think that green must be the new color. Since we were going to be doing some re-decorating for our new baby, our girl requested we repaint her room in a light green.
June 24th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
That green is great; perfect for a shaggy boy.
(Love those dots.)
June 24th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
Love it! I love green for a baby’s room - very soothing!
June 24th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
Oooh, what an awesome color. I love it! I think Shaggy will like it.
June 24th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
Aw. It’s enough to make one want another baby. (Wait a sec! I have a baby! In a green nursery! I have to stop wanting babies when I already have babies.)
June 24th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
That looks awesome Mrs. C, and the dots on the bedding look adorable next to the green. Nice and gender neutral
June 24th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
i LOVE it. it’s pure money, woman.
June 24th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
I am so freakin in love with that
June 24th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
Like you said…awesome.
June 25th, 2008 at 1:13 am
WOW! It’s perfect! I love green too. Great job Mommy and also the ones who painted the wall.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:25 am
I love it! The color is just perfect. And I’m a big fan of dots myself. Lucy’s bedding is a similar pattern, with a slightly more girlish slant!
What a lovely welcome for Shaggy!
June 25th, 2008 at 7:42 am
I LOVE IT!
June 25th, 2008 at 8:27 am
That is GORGEOUS!!! Wow, Shaggy’s going to have some good memories of this room. ^___^
What does the Poo think? She think it good for her baby bro?
June 25th, 2008 at 8:28 am
Wow. It looks great. Also could work for those who don’t find out the baby’s gender…thanks for the design ideas.
June 25th, 2008 at 9:11 am
I don’t think it’s a coincidence the paint matches your blog header. Must be a color that speaks to you.
I think it looks great, especially considering the sunny yellow in the main rooms.
June 25th, 2008 at 9:33 am
I love the color of the room!!!!
June 25th, 2008 at 9:40 am
I like the green a lot. Especially because it doesn’t scream “nursery” so you’ll be able to transition to an older kid’s room without totally repainting.
June 25th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
No kidding perfection! It’s nothing short of completely gorgeous. What a relief to have it really in the works, huh?
June 25th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
love, love, love it.
simply perfect.
June 25th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
Looks great! We have the same crib.
June 26th, 2008 at 8:56 am
I’m going to de-lurk and say - AWESOMME color choice!
June 26th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
It’s perfect! Is that not the actual colour of Shaggy’s shirt from Scooby Doo?
Absolute perfection.
June 26th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Great job!! I will pray these weeks go by quickly for you!
June 27th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Love it! Perfect color for a “Shaggy”!
June 27th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Oh, it is absolutely perfect! There is something about a crib, all done up with the bedding and such, that says “we’re ready baby!”
Can’t hardly wait . . .
