Living room makeover

I spent the last week painting my living room , kitchen and dinning room.  these first two pictures are the before walls.  I am sorry I didnt take a picture until I had started taping the walls, but you get the idea.

 The tile is white and the walls were very light but not quite white.

 My husband said not to dark so I picked this color from Lowes.  It is a leather color.  I tured out so cool.

 The hardest part so far has been around the windows.

 The look now of the room has been described as warm and inviting.  I am so pleased with the end result.

I must admit I am not the best painter.  I have made mistakes.  But I did it all by my self.  I am still painting my staircase.  I need a ladder.  I cant reach all the way to the top.  But I am so happy.  We also got a light tan rug and a brand new screen door this week.  I helped my husband do the door and it was a bear.  But it also looks beautiful.

  This picture was taken before it was done.  It was dark by the time it was done and I just was too lazy to take another picture.

Trip to Hobby Lobby for girls room redo

Yesterday my girls and I went to Hobby Lobby to find pinks stuff to decorate the new room.  We found some stuff. 

We found these flowers in the Easter decor and the butterfly in the summer stuff.   

 These light switch plates are my favorite.   I love changing these they make a small but huge difference.

 This says it all.  My four year old picked this out.

 I took scrapbook paper and made a new boarder.

 Girls enjoying the room.

 See what I mean.

 These are over my daughter bed.

The hanging stuff is all over but after I got them up my four year old ask for me to get some more.  So looks like I will be going to Hobby Lobby sooner than later.  I am not done.  I still need to put up the girls initials we made yesterday, get the curtains and I want to get a shelf to put some stuff on and well you know you could go crazy with stuff.  I am enjoying this. 
 

Initials Here Please!

I did this project with my 4 year old yesterday. She loves doing project. This project is going up in her newly painted pink and white bedroom.  

The next few pictures show you how we did the initials.  Kind of like a tutorial, but without all descriptions.  I think the pictures are self explanatory.  OK so I am being lazy. 

She had to have a little bling on the initial which I would not have done, but she is four and it was her initial.

Also today I was driving around my neighborhood and found these finds as a result of the wind damaged fences from last weeks winter storm.

I see many project in this. Especially since I ordered my Valspar free paint sample yesterday. Yepee! My husband is going to think I am crazy.  Have a great day.

 

Girls room redo

My daughter has begged us to paint her room pink.  We finally did this this weekend.  I really feel bad that I don't have a before picture.  The room before was just plain egg shell.  Basically the ceiling is the color it used to be.  Now you can see it is Pink and White.  I love how it turned out.  We know need to add the curtain and I am going to get some vinyl initials.  Here are some of the random pictures I do have to share.  Enjoy I know my daughter is.

 This room is rather large.  This side of the room is my little ones side.

 This side is for my bigger daughter. 

 I know all of you that have painted have made a tape snowman.

My four year old wanted to paint so bad.  We thought it would be safe to let her paint the chair rails.
