painting - day 1

we are painting the kiddos' room before we move in. it is going to be awesome. I could tell you the vision, but instead I will just let you say "whoa!" as you read these posts, and know that you are laughing.

so, here are some pictures from before we started - just a plain white room.

(taken from in the room, looking back at the doorway)

it is basically a 11.5 x 10 ft room, plus a little nook, where blake is sitting. the long wall is parallel to the closet; the cribs will have their long sides against the long wall and will basically take up that whole wall.


now we start to tape (sorry that all the shots w/ the window in them should have been taken w/ the flash):

and we start to paint:

and now the top is looking nice:

and now I will mention that this room will be dr seuss themed. I will also say I was not planning on it being quite as bright as it's turned out, but it's hard to tell from a little bitty paint swatch. so you just laugh, but we're just going w/ it. okay, ready for the bottom?

yes indeed-y, a rather bright yellow. I know, really bright. but like I said, we're going with it. and, there's more craziness to come, so you just hold on to those horses and check back tomorrow.
