A little home decorating....kid style...

Well, here they are....after weeks of painting and patience, the kids rooms are decorated and pretty much ready to go.  Now we just have to change the toys and bedding and we'll have Freddie in a big-boy bed, Karyl on the trundle bed, and the crib all empty and ready for Nicole in 4 weeks!!

Here is the "Girl" room....



Here is the "Boy" room - which Freddie will have all to himself until the next baby if it's a boy...if it's a girl then he'll get to have it all to himself for a LONG time!!



The paint is the same, there was just more light in one shot than another. 

For any of you thinking that a border is an easy way to add pizzaz to a room, learn from us...apparently the borders ARE NOT self adhesive.  They have to be moistened and then attached...which didn't work since the walls in thise house have funky texture.  So, the men did what they had to...they went and bought spray adhesive.....it worked....

Now, Greg just wants to find a "stop light" lamp for Freddie's room and some other racing things...we also have self-adhesive (we checked) stickers that match the borders for the walls once we get the furniture in it's final place.

For the girl room we just need to put the stickers on the wall and get a railing for the trundle bed.  Other than that, her room is all done.

Greg has done an awesome job.  Now he is going to start working on our room (we already have the paint, it's a medium blue). We want crown moulding in ours, so that's the only additional purchase we have to make...and paint it white (the ceiling will be white too).  We still haven't decided on what color the bathroom will be, but we're in no hurry.  We needed to get the kids' rooms done first so we could switch them before the baby...our room can be done at a more leisurely pace!!

The rooms look great! Amazon has a stop light lamp - I was just looking at it for one of my nephew's birthday that is coming up. Miss you guys!
