Kids Room ReDONE

It is DONE. I have redone the kids room for the LAST time. And I LOVE IT! I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. Here is a before picture.I finally sold ALL the bedding that I had collected over time and ordered the new quilts last week. (Jacks came in first as you can see in the before pic, I couldn't wait to put it on!) Friday night I painted over the disgusting green color, that I chose wrong the last time I painted and have hated since I started brushing it on. I chose the color very carefully this time. Flipping through many catalogs and doing many google searches. I finally settled on Beacon Gray. It was perfect. It only took me about 3 1/2 hours to move everything, tape, and paint. I let it dry over night and in the morning went to Target for curtains, navy black outs, and pink sheers, and bulletin boards. Came home and sprayed the boards, which Lucy promptly stepped on and left a paw print and pink paw prints there after. Then realized that I didn't have the correct hardware for the double curtain, so off to Menards! The next morning I nagged Jeremy until he hung the boards, shelves, names, and curtains for me. But of coarse it didn't go smoothly, why would it!? I got the wrong curtain rods, and the shelves were made cheaply and wouldn't hold up. SO, what should have taken J 1/2 hour took him almost 4!!! Sorry babe! BUT THANKS! Today I printed a new picture of the kids for above the dresser, and hit the 50% off sale at Hobby Lobby to finish it off. Here is the end result.Sorry for the phone pics. I was in a hurry :)
