Violet's new bedroom

Finally. Finally.
The last evidence of the previous owners is GONE.
We painted Violet's bedroom.
From the beginning, I hated the room. Sponge-painted an awful blue (which really isn't all that bad, till you look closely at it and see where they obviously got tired and just started loosely rolling on the paint). And of course, the room isn't small. 11x19... with vaulted ceilings. You can see why this project was a pretty daunting task. But we did it. The "before" photo was actually how the previous owners decorated it, cause for some reason I never took a picture of Violet's stuff in the room. No matter... cause all of it changed, anyway...


The first task was to prime the walls. As you can see that blue just wanted to peek through no matter what!!!

Next, we started painting... lavender on the bottom and white on the top. The white (Behr One Coat Premium) took 3 coats. Over the primer. Arrrrggggggh.

We hoped to get it done in one night, but because of so many coats of white, it took an extra day. This was the barricade we set up to keep the kids out. :)

And, then... it was done :)

New blinds, curtains, and accessories really added to the look.

We got the lamps, bedding, and pillows at Target on clearance! Gotta love clearance!

Violet was so surprised!!

She just loves her room... and has been so responsible about keeping it clean and making her bed every day! Riley can't wait till it's his turn for a new room... ;)
