on becoming my mother...

first of all i would like to start by saying - i should not be left alone. my husband was out of town for a couple days so of course, i decided to paint my kids' rooms by myself before he got back. (by the way - i haven't done any decorating other than the painting, so please don't judge me on the naked walls!)

now, if you know my mom, you are laughing right now because this is totally something she would do. my mom is amazing- she does everything from building furniture to mapping out and remodeling entire rooms. i may not be quite as talented as her with the home remodeling, but i figured i could handle painting. i love that when i called her to tell her my plans, she wasn't surprised at all, it was as if it was totally expected of me to try to paint two bedrooms in a couple days on my own. and when i hurt my back pulling that huge toy bookcase because i decided taking the toys out beforehand would take way too much time, she completely understood that as well! i think for both of us, the best part about doing things on our own is because we can do whatever we want and not feel bad about making others help us when WE want them to. my husband might call this impatience, but i prefer to call it initiative ;)

anyway, here are the rooms... tyler's started out with the bottom half blue, and the top cream, and blake's was all cream. i should mention that i painted tyler's room and then painted it again because i didn't like the bottom color! i still want to add a really light blue to the top 8 inches of blake's room, so that's in the plans also.
