Bedroom Makeover Part One

We've been talking about painting the girl's room for a couple of years now, ever since they got their new beds and bedding. So we finally got around to over Memorial Day weekend and I love it! More importantly, they love it too.

We used Valspar Violet Sweet. Then I rearranged the furniture and created a little nook.

I think it'd be really cute with a little pink chair in the corner or something, but for now it's just toys.

Here's a before of the furniture arrangement and the wall color is the same as from their baby days.

New furniture arrangement (excuse the naked bed--it's sheet washing day for Kayley)

I found this cute over-the-door hook thing at Home Goods

and this picture at Ross.

Funny how different the wall color looks this close up!

I'm still looking for curtains. I want something sheer, either white, pink or light green with some sparkles or something. Then we need to put up a white ledge shelf that I've had forever and some wall art and we should be done.

Ooh! Violet definitely looks great on the girls' walls. You did a great job on deciding on a color. I think pink is a bit too overused anyway. The placement of the beds are perfect too. And, I think light green with sparkles would look great for curtains in the room. Hope to see more updates soon, Jill. All the best! :)

A Day in My Life

It's time once again for the Multiples and More Question of the Week: A Day in Your Life. What is your schedule like? Do you work outside the home or stay home with the kids? I am very blessed to be a SAHM. Our schedule looks something like this: The girls get up anywhere between 7:20 and 8:20, but usually around 8:00. Lately I've been letting them watch an episode of Dora so I can get on the computer and check email, Facebook, etc. Otherwise they just play for an hour or so and then we have breakfast. By the time we're done with breakfast (fixing, eating and cleaning up) it's usually between 9:30 and 10:00. We get dressed, and then we go wherever we're going that day (errands, park, playdate, etc.). If it's a stay home day, I'll usually do a DVD workout while they just play upstairs and then we'll go for a walk or play outside after. Lunch is anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00, and nap is 1:30 or 2:00 to 4:00 ...

A Very Belated 2023 Recap

I guess I took a bit of a blogging break. I only blogged three times last year and this will be my first post so far this year. I just haven’t been in the mood but now suddenly I am. We’ll see how long it lasts. Where to even begin? A lot has happened since I last blogged. The girls are about to turn 16, have jobs and are on the verge of getting their driver’s licenses. We took an amazing trip to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas last summer. We celebrated our 17th anniversary and are closing in on our 18th. We attended some great concerts, did some fun hikes and have had lots of fun date nights, game nights and girl’s/guy’s nights out. Ok, I guess that’s not all that much but whatever. So, I guess to start off my 2024 blogging, I will recap 2023: I turned 54 in January. For President's Day weekend we went to Crescent Bar and from there Paul and Kayley went skiing at Mission Ridge and...

Show Us Your Life - Dining Rooms

It's time for this week's Show Us Your Life, brought to you by Kelly's Korner , and this week it's dining rooms. We have a very open floorplan, so when you walk in our front door the dining room is to the right and the living room to the left, with the fireplace straight ahead. It's basically all one big room. I bought the table and sideboard at Dania when I bought my first condo back in 2002. It looked great in that condo, but for this house I wish I had black dining room furniture. The table and sideboard are the same color as the trim, and then with the white walls (although we finally got one wall painted) it's just so blah. And like most other rooms in the house, we have yet to hang curtains (not that we're going to hang them in every room, but we have yet to hang any). Looking in from the kitchen. Need curtains! Looking in from the living room. Notice the plastic protector underneath, for when the kids throw their sp...
