Home Renovations

A few months ago, we had a light fixture installed in the toy room. The installer managed to put 6 holes in the ceiling and one in the wall. After a few months of walking past these very obnoxious holes, we finally decided to do something about it. We patched, we sanded, we patched and sanded, then we patched and sanded some more....and then we were finally ready to paint!

Here's the old toy room (this was the only picture I could find where the drapes were still up):


Then we painted the walls (3 cream, one pink). My addiction to Pinterest gave me the idea for an artwork display for the girls:


Then we put up decals on the pink wall:


I would have felt satisfied with our progress, except for this one pesky little problem--that there is no break in our walls where we can just stop painting. The entire main floor of our house must be the same color. So this meant that I had to also paint the cream walls in the tv room and kitchen.

Here's the "old" tv room:


I started painting, one wall per weekend. Oh, and we moved the tv:


On the list of things to do is to order new shades for the tv room, get a new tv stand, mount the tv on it's new wall, put some of the wall decorations back up, and, of course, paint the kitchen. We'll get to it...
