Projects continue...

We are always doing at our house, I know Brady wishes we'd do less but I just get so excited about my our projects... We painted the boys bedrooms... don't get too excited, just a neutral that I've fallen in love with, vast desert.  The plan is now to put some color in the room by painting the dresser and getting some shelves and decor up... maybe even building a triple bunk bed like this one...

Oh the possibilities!
Carson's room started off totally light blue, everything, the walls the ceiling the baseboards... then they had airplane stickers on the walls and an airplane fan on the ceiling... it was a cute idea but not my taste, so down it all came.  Carson really liked the airplanes so we kept 2 to mount on boards so we can hang them as pictures. 
Wyatt and Owen's room was red and tan with a wallpaper boarder of safari animals driving a jeep between the 2 colors.  I like the colors actually but there were the same smoke stains on the wall as the rest of the house so it just had to be painted.
Here are some pictures of our progress on the rooms...

 Brady painted the ceilings in the boys rooms first...
Carson's room



 The fan is hanging low in this room and we need to fix that but can't find a shorter down rod...



Excuse the mess...
We hadn't clean up yet but I was itching to take pictures
The painted rectangles on the doors were from the previous owners and
we don't hate it, it's kind of fun so we've left them for now.

(we've left the inside of the closet light blue too... another project is putting in some shelves and it will get painted when we do that)

Wyatt and Owen's room...
We've didn't get  a shot of the wallpaper boarder, sorry you missed it,
it was right where the white stripe is.

 

 Spent 2 hours cleaning up this room... they have the "toy closet" in their room so don't tell them but I threw out the crappy toys and broken things that they couldn't let go of...
(They haven't missed them yet... shhh...)



Still want to paint dressers and decorate... so bring on Pinterest!

Next few projects are outdoors... we've got our garden all set up just waiting for the warm weather to kick in so we can plant!

 And here are a few pictures of my boys... love them... we all miss Carson while he is at school all day...

So cute. Much better than at first. This is the first look I've gotten of the quilts too. I love them. Everything is coming together. I can hardly wait to see it all together. I remember what it looked like when you got there. Anyone that saw it then would not recognize it. I so miss the boys.
