Evie’s room has been a labor of love. It took 8 paint samples and two full coats before we found the color we wanted. Cody painstakingly hung, then moved, then rehung frames and walk shelves to appease his (at the time) very pregnant wife. (Apparently pregnant Ashley = indecisive Ashley.) I hot glued myself to…
