We moved the big boys out of their Curious George room and put up the baby's crib and bedding. I also found a rocking chair on Craig's list to add to the room. We still need to move up a wardrobe from the playroom, but that can come later.
I had two friends come help me paint the boys' room and we did it all in one day, stripes and all. Eventually there will be bunk beds, but we're not that far yet. I also need to add more decorations, but I'm still thinking...it's supposed to be a baseball room. I brought down the dresser and painted and added legs to it...the legs have been sitting in my garage for over 2 years now...so I can finally cross that off my list!
This little beauty was plain wood with chicken wire in the door...so I painted it red and added a chalkboard, the boys are ecstatic about that part!
And I repainted this table for them to use as a desk...it used to be tan but it blended in with the walls.
Miss B got the huge guest bed moved up to her room and my old desk...I had to repaint it as well, it was peeling pretty bad.
And for our bedroom, I finally got a third door and got it painted to finish the screen that goes in the corner to hide hubby's office nook...however I still need to hinge it to the others!
And I finally got the desk I've been eyeing at Ikea...it took two days to put together, but I finally finished and I love it~
Here's an inside peek...
omigoodness! I love all of the rooms! I kept saying "oooh" and "ahhh" at each picture. ;) The baby's room is SO FUN. Curious George is a big favorite around here, too. The boys' room is SO boy. (obviously, but you know what I mean) All the little touches just give it a really nice feel. Love the red pain and chalkboard...you are so crafty! Your dd's room is like little girl heaven...I'm planning to do Emmy's room pink and green when we move (soon, I hope!). I just love the vertical stripes. And your room looks great, too, with the diamond/argyle pattern on the walls. You must be really good at using that painters' tape. lol Thanks for sharing these...I love looking at how pople decorate their houses! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the house!!! You must be nesting. That's a lot of work. We just did the "kid shuffle" too. Where did all the space go?

ReplyDeleteYou have been busy! I've told you this before, but I just love your style. I love how you can take something old, paint it, and make it look beautiful.
