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?).
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?
It is GORGEOUS! Dude, if I was shorter, I would totally sleep in that room. Love it.
I love that color! It makes the walls really POP!
love it.
we had an apple green on jack’s nursery walls.
love it love it love it love it!
Yeah, it’ll do. LOL.
That is totally my favorite color right now
I love it. I think it is totally a fit for a boy!
I absolutely love it.
OMG sooo perfect. I want that room in my house when I have a baby.
So crisp and clean.
I love the dots and that little blue table? I want to knock it over, it’s so cute.
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!
Wonderful color! I love it. And the bedding and crib look fabulous, too! Nicely done.
It’s beautiful! I love the colors and I love the polka dots! So much better than the usual bunnies and bears. Good work.
I love it! That green is amazing!
Gorgeous stuff mama, Shaggy is one lucky little boy!
A brave colour, but damn it works – especially for a boy. Well done!
I think it looks great. Good work!
That looks lovely! You should paint a few large dots here and there on the walls – to coordinate with your awesome bedding.
I like it! And it coordinates with the blog too!
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.
That green is great; perfect for a shaggy boy.
(Love those dots.)
Love it! I love green for a baby’s room – very soothing!
Oooh, what an awesome color. I love it! I think Shaggy will like it.
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.)
That looks awesome Mrs. C, and the dots on the bedding look adorable next to the green. Nice and gender neutral
i LOVE it. it’s pure money, woman.
I am so freakin in love with that
Like you said…awesome.
WOW! It’s perfect! I love green too. Great job Mommy and also the ones who painted the wall.
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!
I LOVE IT!
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?
Wow. It looks great. Also could work for those who don’t find out the baby’s gender…thanks for the design ideas.
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.
I love the color of the room!!!!
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.
No kidding perfection! It’s nothing short of completely gorgeous. What a relief to have it really in the works, huh?
love, love, love it.
simply perfect.
Looks great! We have the same crib.
I’m going to de-lurk and say – AWESOMME color choice!
It’s perfect! Is that not the actual colour of Shaggy’s shirt from Scooby Doo?
Absolute perfection.
Great job!! I will pray these weeks go by quickly for you!
Love it! Perfect color for a “Shaggy”!
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 . . .
