My project of painting the girls room is complete! (Well, I’m still waiting on Fanny Mae to get me the pillows.)
I know it’s drawn out to a few days but that’s just how these things go. Decorating or redecorating, takes time.
THELMA & LOUISE’S ROOM
The girls share a queen platform bed that I pushed up to the wall to make it more “loungy”. It also makes the room look more spacious.
We had a comforter that actually goes with the decor so I’m super excited about this. This makes my project even less costly than I thought!
I also had found two of their dresses that I thought looked good on the walls but, after I added the custom designs on the walls…I found it be too much, so I removed them.
BEFORE
AFTER
Much better.
I’m sorry the green always looks different. It constantly changes in my house too! So weird. Warmer and more yellowy in the day, and more cold, techno green in the evening. And then changes every color in between if it’s sunny or cloudy outside.
I am LOVING their room. I love it more than my room now. My room is SO BLAH but repainting that one is not easy. The furniture is too heavy for me to move around by myself so I’m less motivated to start that project.
I think I’m going to move into this room instead. Every time I walk by it, I just have to look in and smile. I LOVE LVOE LOVE it! Makes me all giddy inside.
Dick likes it as well and agrees that our room is so drab and boring now. Well, do I hear someone volunteering to HELP me???
EXPENSES
So, basically, besides all the hours of work I put into it, cost wise, here’s roughly what I spent:
TOTAL $145!!
Not bad for a new room.
You know, when you do something yourself, you love it THAT MUCH MORE!
That’s why I love my house so much!!

Hi! It’s great to reconnect with you! You have fun blog here. Love the girls’ room! You made me thankful that I didn’t give away our old table that looks like the pink one in the room. I’m inspired to refinish it in a fun color! Was all the wall art done freehand?

Thanks Ranee. It’s been a while since I painted the house. I need to but with being pregnant right now (not that I haven’t done it), I’m not thinking of painting anything yet…yet…
