Brittany & Nathan's Rooms

December 31, 2008, Wednesday - Well, our kids are growing up. With both kids Chad & I did not find out what we were having when I was pregnant. We moved Brittany out of her all pink room into the bigger room which was the guest room. We faux painted her walls half purple and half yellow with a ocean/fish border 1/3 the way down the wall. For Nathan's wall we went with something gender neutral and did bright yellow walls with a Winnie the Pooh border at the top. When he was about 2 he went with the Bob the Builder comforter set, wall stickers & curtain. Well, Nathan is now 4 and we decided it was time to update his room. Chad having the time off with vacation, he decided to take on the project. Nathan wanted a tree frog theme. Chad was just going to paint the border green, but discovered that the border when wet just peeled right off so he ended up taking the border down. Then painted a green border & decided it didn't make a big enough impact & so headed out to the stores & returned with a frog border & more green paint. Here are the before and after pictures. It took Chad 3 days (it always seemed to take longer than we think it will), and Nathan thoroughly loves his new room! BeforeIf you notice, Chad painted the ceiling green too!After

We updated Brittany's Princess comforter set to Littlest Pet Shop. She wanted a beach & Littlest Pet Shop theme. Chad found a beach poster and Brittany came up with the idea of putting Littlest Pet Shop stickers on the poster. What a great idea! The poster is hanging over her bed. Here is her before & after shots.

We had a wonderful 2008 and look forward to what God has in store for us in 2009. We wish you many blessings in the coming year. Happy New Year!
