Makeovers

Moving into a new house has made me antsy to do some updating. The bedrooms especially needed a makeover. The paint was scuffed, dirty and not my preferred choice of color. So as I got time I have worked on Jacob and Katelyn’s bedrooms.

In Katelyn’s room I had someone come in and add wainscoting on one wall. I then caulked, primed and painted it. Next, I painted the room pink. I also had Seth replace the light fixture. Of course I got some new curtains, bedding and wall decor. It turned out really cute! It is perfect for my two little princesses.

Jacob didn’t give me much liberty in his room. I got to pick out bedding but he picked out most everything else. We did the wainscoting in there as well so he had a place for his trophies. Then we painted the room beige. We got navy blue curtains and blue and white bedding. He insisted his room be all “BYU”. I also got a lady to make me a vinyl letter ‘Y’ in the BYU blue oval. Surprisingly it turned out really nice. Of course we could use some bedroom furniture but Seth has put a halt on anything that costs a substantial amount of money so that will come later.

Next I am going to repaint the playroom a fun lime green. I promised myself I wouldn’t start another painting project until I organized the storage room (if you recall from the “The good, the bad, and the ugly” post, it needs some major organizing). I am anxious to begin painting again so I guess I better get cleaning! Below are some before and after pictures of KK’s room. I never took before pics of Jacob’s room but you can see the after ones below.
