Kelsey's & Emma's Bedroom Redo

I decided that while Kelsey & Emma were gone to camp I wanted to paint their room & rearrange the furniture.  They had to be at the church by 7AM on Monday morning.  As soon as they were gone, I went into their room, took everything off the walls & moved all the furniture into the middle of the room.  I thought this would leave me plenty of room to maneuver around, and bring in a ladder (they have a high ceiling), but not so much.  It took me all of Monday & some of Tuesday to get it painted.  A big 'THANK YOU" to Monica for coming over around 10:30 Monday night & helping me crank it out faster.  She's a pro.  And she's tiny & could get around things easier than me. =]   The walls were done Monday....actually early Tuesday morning (Monica & I painted until 1AM), then Tuesday I spent the day touching up the trim, ceiling & doors.  The new wall color really helped lighten up the room! Plus Seth installed a larger light for us.  So nice to have handy neighbors! The Bergman's are great.  Anywhoo - I knew that doing this would help the week go by faster for me, which is what I wanted.  Ashton was a ton of help with the kids & even cleaning the house! Way to go Ash!  I couldn't wait for Friday to roll around.  They were supposed to be home around noon.  
I had to take a picture of all their books.  They have SOOO many books!

This picture makes it look really yellow, but with more light it's "creamier".  I love it! Their beds have never been parallel to each other, they were always "L" shaped, with one going under the window.  I like it this way much more! .  
This bookcase was always horizontal.  But to have the beds parallel I had to move it vertically.
I like it this way a lot more!

While Jared & I were out looking for bedding for Kelsey & Emma's "new" room, we decided to check out a furniture store that was closing.  They had this bunk bed, last white one left, at a great price.  We've promised Mallory a bunk bed for a long time, and really that room is so small we don't really have a choice, the beds have to be stacked! Mal & Soph were so excited, and Sophie has been great at staying in her bed during the night and for nap time! They also inherited Kels & Emma's "old" bedding, which I got last year when Kelsey was gone to camp.  I may be getting myself into trouble here!

  1. Oh my gosh! You are too awesome! I need your help! I'm trying to pick paint colors right now and am having such a hard time. I kinda wanted a light yellow for Maile's cuz she wants to put flowers, butterflies and a rainbow on her wall. So I thought that would be a good background. What color is that?
