Redecorating the kid's rooms!

I finally hit a point of being so annoyed that my kids rooms were still sitting with white walls after 6 months of living in this house. I set a goal for myself, by the end of August I would finally have all of their rooms done! I'm pretty proud of myself for all that I've gotten accomplished in the last week, it has been no easy feat that's for sure. Working around nap times and little hands trying to get into the paint has proven challenging to say the least!

Zac's room is finished with the painting part, I just need to get things hung in his room! I love the way the stripes turned out, and even with our textured walls, the stripes are perfect, no leakage! I have thought about refinishing the bed to go with the rest of the room but that is at the bottom of the priority list.

I love this canvas (I still need to rehang it) we found it in my Grandpa's house after he had passed away. He signed the bottom with the date (12-31-84). When talking to my Dad about it years ago he thinks my Grandpa was drawing it for my cousin Jordy, but then after my Grandma died he never finished it. I especially love the Zamboni included as a major vehicle (we were all ice skaters so it makes sense!) Zac's bedding has vehicles on it and so it fits perfectly! At one point when I had it up in Hayden's room I had thought of painting the vehicles to "finish" it but I decided I love the simplicity and that it is all Grandpa Ernie. Something my kids can have from the Great Grandpa they never knew.

Brynley's room is obviously not done because we are doing white Bead Board on the bottom 4 feet of the wall. That will be done this Saturday, I can't wait because I am so excited about the raspberry color we ended up choosing, I think it will pop next to the bead board!

A sneak peak at Hayden's room. 2 of the walls are this color (it's not quite this dark in real life) and the final decision on the other color is still pending... stay tuned...
