Abby's Bedroom Part 2!

This is the door to the hallway....and Lucas w/ his new "SCARY" face...he's so scary, eh?? He's such a goofball!!

I wanted to post these on Saturday but we got a little busy. These pics are of the trim which is completely finished now! I will get some more pics up tomorrow, we are almost completely done and Abby is all moved in!!

We've got PAINT!!

We're getting somewhere...we've definately got paint. Lots of bright, bubble-gum paint! It's fun. Definately not a color I ever would have thought we would have in our house, but this is what happens when your husband goes paint shopping by himself! So, what do you think? I keep seeing this color pink w/ a bright, lime green (Thanks Lisa, lol!) and I really love it! I'm gathering ideas, but the husband gets the final decorating "Say-so" as
this is his little project room.
The big crack in the ceiling will eventually be covered by ceiling tiles. We're trying to find some cheap, yet pretty ones. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears!! The ones we found (and didn't even *LOVE*) at Menards were $17 EACH...I about crapped my pants! We only need..oh 45 of them! All of the trim will also be getting a nice coat of white paint, that's next on the list. We also need some ideas for the closet. I'm leaning towards just painting it white and installing some shelving. We kept the old door, I want to paint it white, then put a frame (pink or green??) on it w/ the inside of the frame done in that chalkboard paint. Maybe some magnetic paint somewhere too...just because it's fun!

Abby is getting a bedroom!

Poor Lucas was kicked out of his bedroom last summer. He was happy to go, it meant that he got to sleep in a bunk bed with his big brother, and he was doing something nice for his new baby sister. And the room has sat empty ever since! It's become quite the dumping grounds for all our unfinished projects, or things that just need a new home. So, we finally cleaned it out and started in on the walls a couple of months ago...funding of our little project ran dry, but we are finally back at it! Here are some "before" and "during" pics, I will get more "during" pics up as we finish, and hopefully some "After" pics before too long!


The "Before" pics are from 2 years ago when we first moved into this house. We put both boys into the master bedroom (more space for toys!) and we took the smaller upstairs room. The scary bears were too much for me though, I tore them down before I could sleep in there!!
This "During" pic is of the pink primer. You can also see the new white door frame behind my hired help...er, I mean husband. We bought a new door for the room and will continue replacing doors and trim as we go. You didn't think we would use the same trim, did you?? It's HIDEOUS!!!


Quite the cute little helper, eh? And Lucy is peeking out from under the ladder!
