painting day

or vacation day, whatever!

Ed took a vacation day today, and we spent the entire day painting Rowan's room! Never again! Never again will we paint on a vacation day, and never again will we paint stripes either! We did learn a lot from this experience if we would do it again, but it is just too tedious. And I am a perfectionist, so when it is perfect, it annoys me. You can't tell they aren't perfect in pictures, or maybe even in person unless we point them out. But still. Overall, I am satisfied with how it all turned out.

I have nothing on the walls, and will only put something on the open areas on the sides of the window, but I am in no hurry. I think the pictures of the bedding are a bit deceiving too, it is a bit brighter than the pictures make it out to be. More of a purple color than the burgandy it looks like! But anyway. It is done. Also might be in the market for an ottoman for storage for the foot of the bed? We will see!
Of course Rowan was a great helper. Loved climbing on the ladder and getting in the way. I think Ed and I are lucky to be talking to each other after today.

Painting sucks. No other way to say it. But I think that the stripes are very impressive! Just don't tell people that they aren't perfect...no one will ever notice.

Freaking adorable! Love it!

And i totally warned you about the stripes - they suck. That's why Kieran's room is solid blue!

P.S. I didn't have to login in to your blog. Did you change that? This isn't my normal Google account so i wasn't already logged in either. I did have to login to comment though. Just checking!

Love the stripes...I don't know why I was picturing them to be vertical - but I love the horizontal look!

Such a big girl room! It looks great!!! Solids are definitely easier, but the stripes look great!
