Great ideas, inspire great things...

So I've been dinking around on getting the last two rooms in this house painted. I have the girls room's left. For those of you who know the layout of the house we have the two rooms downstairs for the girls right now. Makenzie has moved into the smaller of the two rooms, the one with a door on it. Since she is older and is getting to that age we figured it was time. So it made more sense to have the younger two, Briella and Brezlyn share the bigger room. I figured it was finally time to get some painting done and make it look like a nice girls room. So I started out with Briella and Brezlyns room first. My first plan on action was to take the bunk beds we previously had together, apart. Putting them into two twin beds made more sense since I didnt feel like either of them were old enough to be on the top bunk and it just made it easier to figure out the layout of the room. I moved around a couple of other things and we were good to go. My next step was to find matching bed spreads. I came across a steal at Shopko for two twin comforters and sheets on clearance. I always thought Amy and Cissy were the one's that found these good deals, but I got lucky! So from there I took a color from the bedspread and decided to use that as the main color of the room, the paint of the walls. It actually ended up being quite similiar if not the same color as Amy and Troy have in their basement. I guess great minds, have great taste! So from their it was taping off the walls and windows, removing the electrical outlet covers and pushing the furniture to the middle of the room so I could paint with ease. The room took two coats of paint and I barely had enough to finish the room. It was close!! I have found a few discrepancies but overall I think it will do for now and I am pleased with the look. I also updated the current dresser that has red,blue,yellow, and green for the handles and trim between the dressers to match the look also with green and cranberry pulled from the comforter colors. Next, Makenzie's room, wish me luck!!
