Bedroom Make Over

So I convinced Jay to let me redo Bridger's bedroom as long as I agreed I couldn't repaint it for at least 5 years!
I bought some new fabric and made him a bed spread that I think he could live with until he left the house when he was older...at least that was my goal.
We painted over the orange and navy stripes in his room with lime green and left the light blue at the top. Then I had a great idea of using red vinyl instead of a chair rail to separate the two colors. It looks just like paint, but we didn't have the head ache of taping off the wall and trying to achieve a straight line. It was so easy to do too! I have sold some "vinyl chair rail" to a couple of other people after they saw his room. I was really happy with the end result. I am still needing to make pillow cases...but that will have to wait for another day.

Any time I have a project that I am working on I lay awake at night trying to think of how to do it. Well, I wanted to put up some vinyl on the walls in the kids rooms and I couldn't decide what to do. I wanted to give it character and I wanted to use some graphics that I had bought. I brainstormed for several days and I am so happy with what I came up with. I did some in each of the kids rooms.

 

 

I enlarged the bottom picture to show that I put the girls names in the leaves on the branch.

All in all I had fun redecorating Bridgers room and he is very happy with it. Jay was a great help repainting his room and picking helping me pick out the fabric for the blanket...he pretty much just went along with anything I picked...which made the process quick and easy. He is such a great help and so supportive of my crazy ideas!
