New House

I really need to work on keeping up with my blogging. It is so hard to find the time. Especially with the start of this new year, new house... and lots of work trying to unpack, figure out where everything is going to go...and deciding that the walls need new paint. I just do not care for all the shades of brown the previous owners had. So as I get the rooms completed, which is turning out to be a very slow process, I am going to post pictures of the work I complete. I am working on spackling places that need spackle, then sanding all the walls and finally painting them. Which is taking a lot of time to complete, but has been a fun process as well as trying to get the house unpacked, figuring out where everything is going to go,,,, and not liking it and redoing it.

I let the kids decide on colors they wanted for the playroom and their bedrooms. The game room is in a Robin egg's blue with a lighter blue trim. It turned our really nice.

I have already rearranged this room a little, to fit in a shelf for Lexie to use as her "pantry." Does anyone recognize this very tall book shelf? Dad should...New color, but same shelf, I thought it was time for it to have some new life, plus repainting it made it match the room a whole lot better and it turned out really nice.

Alexandria's room, she decided she wanted to have pink so we found at Home Depot a Disney paint collection. So we got two different shades of pink, a Sleeping Beauty and some other Disney one I can't remember the name. You want to talk pink.....it's pink. pinkalicious, even the ceiling is pink! Lexie's room is not quite done, I still need to finish the other side of her closet door and her bedroom door. But it was so much pink, I kinda burnt myself out... and needed a break.

I still have a few plaques that belong on this wall that I have not found yet.

And I think I need more pictures of the her room and not just her walls.
I have before pictures of most of the rooms, that I am going to post and then as the rooms are completed I will post after pictures. I thought I had taken before of the kids' gameroom, but can't seem to find out where they went. I can't say that I do not have anything to do. More pictures coming soon!
