In January, I painted my powder room. It's a lovely shade of green that makes me think "Ahhhh Spring" every time I walk in there. I'm going to begin utilizing my husbands skill of hiding in the bathroom just to be soothed. PB and I agreed that this green would be perfect for the bottom portion of her bedroom wall, so late in February we cleaned out her bedroom and went to work. She also has the wood border that needed to be painted and stamped, so we took care of that as well. Thank goodness for snow days...it took 4 days to paint, stamp, and clean/reorganize this room. I was really tired of her room by the time we completed it.
You can see more pics in my Flickr Feed.
This past weekend, I tackled Monster's room. It was time for him toget the big boy room, and it about killed me. There was a Nascar wallpaper border at the top and the walls were gray. That border took me 5 hours to remove...it was literally shredding as it peeled off. Then the trim out took forever. I finally finished it Monday night, and I love the colors and the new bookshelf and bench (and bedding) but I'm glad it's done for now.
Ignore the messiness....I took this right after he crawled out of bed today. There's still more to go to finish his room. Daddy is painting one (small) wall with camo, and the closet and main doors have to be painted. We need to create the e center/desk on one wall. And posters/pictures have to be found and hung. But so far, I like it. And he loves the colors on the wall.
So that's where I've been. I'm tired, and this is a busy week. But the smile and contented sigh he gave the first night he slept in there made it worthwhile. Meanwhile, I'm done painting until at least May. DDS is coming home in a couple of weeks for his mid tour 2 week leave, and I have some tidying to do before he gets home.
And a new Etsy store to start stocking...more on that to come!
