Painting the Front Porch Floor!

After we had foundation work done, the concrete patches on our front porch looked awful.  I finally painted the porch using Behr Porch & Floor paint in Winter Oak.  I started with a lighter color (Mocha Accent) but it looked way too light.  Thankfully Home Depot added more pigment to darken it for free!  I could have gone darker and browner if I had to do it again.

What do you think?

And now the real question... do I paint part of our sidewalk too?  It has an ugly concrete patch too, but if I paint part of the sidewalk do I have to paint it all the way to the street, or can I stop where there's a break in the concrete?

Nursery Pictures!

Our baby girl's nursery is starting to take shape!!!  I am absolutely in love with this rocking chair, which was only $30 on Craigslist.  Mimi (my grandmother) gave my mom one that looks just like it.  I got the hot pink cushion from Carousel Designs.  Can't wait to rock my baby girl to sleep!
