Room By Room

This past weekend I started re-painting Cassie's and Shelby's room. Wanna see? For some reason I can't get the photos larger. I think if you click on them they will be bigger. First, a little history. Here is the room as it was when we bought the house:

And as it was when we moved in after having a giant painting party for the whole house. (Maybe if you beg I'll show you more before and afters.)
The girls were 7 and 5 when they got the green and pink room. It went through many room rearrangements after this, of course.

Now the girls are 11 and almost 9 and wanted a more "not so little girlish" room with "bright colors." So I started working this weekend while Shelby was in Mexico and Cassie was in Cincinnati for a Bible Bowl tournament.

Jenna was actually a huge help; she took off all of the outlet covers herself and was my little errand girl!


This is where I started feeling as though I was living inside a basketball and was worried.
Started feeling a little better when pink was next to orange.

Felt a lot better when Cassie came home and loved it. :)



There is still more detail work to do; a few more things to find like a cute desk chair, maybe a rug, curtain rods, etc. But it is coming together. It sure is bright! :) They love it and that's all that matters. That and the fact that when we're ready to paint again in a few more years, they will be old enough to do the fourteen coats of paint that it will take to cover up Frosty Berry and Orange Slice!
