Eastons room update

This is the view into Eastons room..On the wall to the left of the window will be the vinyl saying "don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game" also we will be hanging red curtains.
View from his closet! On of the pictures on his wall...have two from the 1940's of kids playing baseball!

camdens room update

Ok...so keep in mind I still haven't had a chance to have Neil show me how to rotate this picture....so this is the view as you come into Camdens room...It is a picture of three vintage tractors...behind this will is his closet.
Again imagine turned...these are the cutouts in his wall for his tractor collection and the fry pan? Neils Grandpa made a clock with it and the picture on it is an old tractor! You can also see part of his shelves in his closet...we haven't gotten closet doors, trim, carpet or blinds/curtains/drapes! It's an ongoing process
View from his door...Camden has a tiny room...it was suppose to be my sewing room...but Easton wanted his room downstairs with the big kids....so Camden chose the small Cowboy room over the big baseball room...and I got a big sewing room upstairs!
View of his bed and dresser!

You can see the faux finish on the wall...totally looks suede but it isn't and the chair molding is really rope! I will also explain the carpet situation. We moved in to this house with the basement unfinished....but we have now finished the three bedrooms and the bathroom....we are waiting to get carpet when the entire basement is finished so that it all matches and flows. So for now we have leftover carpet from upstairs and remnants in the basement. I decided I wanted grass out back before new carpet...so we enjoy the stuff we have for now! Also to come on the wall with his bed and dresser we are going to try to write a word with the rope....like buckaroo or something...let me know if you have any great ideas to decorate either room (Kimberly....this means especially you since this is what you went to school for)!

Let the painting begin

We finally got Easton's room completely painted. It was quite the process...but it is all one color now! Here are some of the highlights of painting three kids bedrooms...all while one is napping. It took a lot of planning to make get painting done while she was asleep. Neil didn't think about putting on a mask while he sprayed the primer and ceilings...this is the unfortunate result. He was sneezing paint the rest of the day!

All the kids wanted to help out and Brooke did an especially good job on the cutting in.

The boys also helped....but unfortunately they can only paint the bottom third of the wall. We let them help with the first coat...and then Neil did the second coat all alone. We had a great time...but are glad it is over.
