So the plan for the weekend was to paint our downstairs. That was the plan, anyway. We purchased 4 different shades to test and this is as far as we got.

SO, being that I was all geared up to paint and we couldn’t decide on a color for downstairs, I got a wild hair and literally on a whim decided to start with Boo’s room. I don’t know what made me do it. I had pictured in my head for over a year now a subtle pink room with delicate little flowers. Welcome to a very NON-subtle room:

Olivia loves the leaf canopy over her bed. I purchased the frames for .99 cents each and just printed pictures of flowers off the internet.

These adorable little lights were $6.99 at Ikea. I just love that place!!

Of course we can’t forget Olivia’s “chicken.” She still talks about how Santa brought it just for her!

More goofiness

It’s near impossible to get her to stand still for even one picture!

See what I mean!

Finally, a good shot!

I was acting so crazy to get her to smile in the last picture that she got tickled.

We had a lot of fun doing her room. Lindsay and I did most of it and Noah helped us hang things at the end.

Olivia loves it! Now we need to settle on a color for downstairs!

Oh, the green room is darling with the dark pink accents. Great job. I love having a peek at other kids’ rooms. Your daughter is a cutie pie too.

Lilliam gave it two thumbs up. I am still looking for my sunglasses.

Actually, I liked it too.

lol…yea, it’s a little bright. I figure if it gets too obnoxious we can tone it down by sponging over it with a lighter green or even white.
