Boys Room

Since we moved into our new house we have wanted to redo the boys room. This week was spring break and so we finally decided to do something with it. Of course we waited until the last few days of the break, but oh well it got done :)

Of course I don't have any before pictures because why would I think to take those. I can describe it though. It was a very very light blue with walls that looked like they went through a war. They were so dirty and beat up and that is how we got them when we bought the house. The lower part of the walls were covered in teeny tiny holes. We think that they must have had wallpaper up and then used the kind of wallpaper removal tool that puts a bunch of little holes in it. Unfortunately the wall paper wasn't all that got holes put through it, but the wall too. Then, instead of filling the holes they just painted right over it. Lovely, I know!!!! Luckily for my boys, I am not that way and so I filled as many of the holes that I could see and I know that I still missed some. Anyways, I know that I am starting to ramble.

For the boys room we are thinking of doing a somewhat Outer space theme. So, we painted the ceiling and the top half of the walls a darker grayish blue and the bottom part of the walls a creamy white. Since we were going to paint the ceiling I didn't want to do the whole wall in the blue because I didn't want my boys to feel like they are living in a box. We also decided that a chair rail would look fabulous so we installed one of those between the two colors. We have never done a chair rail before so, my mom came over and helped us for a long time. Thank you MOM!!!!!!! We still need to do most of the actual decorating, but so far I love it!

THE FINISHED PRODUCT!!!!!

A Peek into the House

Ok, these pictures aren't the greatest because they are from my phone. My camera had a run in with some sand and I feel as though the sand has won. I only have a few pictures because everything isn't exactly done yet. I have only put a few things on the walls so far. I actually have a pretty good idea about what I want to do decorating wise, but my money tree in the backyard isn't cooperating so I have to do it a little at a time :) So anyways, here is a little taste of our house.

The Living Room

The previous owners left their couches for us and so I had to immediately buy some slipcovers for them. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy that we have them otherwise, you would be looking at a very empty room.

The eat in part of the Kitchen

Sorry about the bright light. I tried to take the picture with the light off, but it was just way to dark. See that clock there? I was so excited to get it because that is what I had envisioned for that wall. Both the clock and the mirror in the Living Room are from Home Goods. Man I love that store.

Fireplace in Family Room

Not much to tell here. Although I was pretty excited to get the candle holder for super Clearance at Kohl's. Also, I made the Families Are Forever plaque like 3 or 4 years ago at a Super Saturday and this is the first time that we have actually hung it up. There were already a couple of screw in the brick so, we thought it was the perfect place for it.

Again, sorry about the bright light. We are borrowing the lamp (because we have none of our own) and we don't have a shade for it. We bought these couches with some of our rebate money. Let me just tell you, I love them!!!! They are so comfortable. Maybe some day I will take a better picture of them. Either that or you will just have to come visit to see them :)

I added this picture because the little girl in it is just so cute.
