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 [...]

FINALLY! The finished painted techno-colored girls room!
Some added PIZZAZZ: More Custom wall painting
In addition to painting the walls, I also wanted to add something “extra”. I went online and found some inspiration for the room. The flowers are just beautiful.
I love the colors but decide to replicate it in a simpler form.
I pencil the drawing on the wall first. This is where the bulk of the work [...]
Video of me painting flowers and butterflies on the walls.
Here’s a clip of me painting some flowers and butterflies on the walls…fast forwarded 2000 times.
I woke up in the middle of the night and worked until morning on this. Nighttime is the only time to work.
No interruptions…just quiet. Ahhhhhh.
The girls were sleeping in mine and Dick’s room while I was working through the night.
There’s [...]

The girls see their room and kinda help with the closet.
I held off as long as I could to surprise the girls with their “new” room.
Even though I wasn’t finished, I was dying to show them.
Plus, they had to come home from my parent’s house at some point.
THEIR REACTION
Louise was screaming like a crazed girl in love with some teeny-bopper celebrity.
(This was taken after she [...]
Jihad Jane? Definitely a case of mistaken identity here.
Apparently this JANE was conspiring with terrorists and was hired to kill that controversial Swedish political cartoonist Lars Vilks.
JIHAD JANE.
I don’t know anything about him or her but reading “Jihad Jane” on CNN.com completely caught my eye.

-Jane, Not Jihad Jane.
Recycling things I already have to accessorize the room.
Most of the stuff I’m using to accessorize is stuff I already have. Like on some of those decorating shows on HGTV (I love those!) I decide to use stuff that is around my house because I have plenty.
You remember I painted the tray. The picture is of Dick’s late Grandmother. The candles came from [...]
Color #4? Chalkboard Paint.
One of the walls of the girls room is completely blank and I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do to it. I thought maybe I would do four boxes of blue like from the brochure.
Not FEELIN’ it. Plus, that would require lots of taping and I’m not up for it.
CHALKBOARD TIME
The [...]
The Victorian Table gets the HOT treatment and June Cleaver suggests I trim it up!
The room still needs more umph. BOLD is BEAUTIFUL.
THE VICTORIAN TABLE
I remember that I have an old ornate, although intricately molded plastic, table that looks like it was from the LOUIS XIV days. It’s in my shed collecting dust because two of it’s legs have fallen off. I kept it all this time thinking I [...]
Introducing color #3: I stray from the brochure and go HOT.
After painting first two colors (Hep Green and Reflecting Pool), I notice that the colors on my walls are turning out darker than the ones in the brochure. However, I’m still DETERMINED to pull this room together and make it FABULOUS for my girls.
The girl’s room is low lit so that’s why the colors are [...]
