A grown up room

I so do not have the time to do be blogging right now. But it is QuIeT in my house, and I just needed to blog. Hunny is doing some work with Kevin today, Dada is at school, and Brother wanted to go to Grandma and Grandpa S. house. He honestly couldn't wait to go over!! I should be getting ready for my Pampered Chef party tonight, but again, I just wanted to blog for a minute.

Hunny was been working hard for me lately here at the house. THANK YOU HUNNY!!!! We have been doing a lot of organizing, and rearranging this week. The kids love sharing a room. They both had their own rooms, and would beg us to spend the night in the other's room. So we finally just put them in the same room. Which they LOVE!!!

If you have ever been to our house, you know that our room was in a very weird space. It is actually a bedroom, but it looks more like a family room. If you also know anything about me, you know 1 of my problems with this room is that there is no door to the room. Now, while we could spend the $500-$600 to put a new door in, and I would have loved to, well, to be honest, we just don't have money for a luxury like a door!! ;) And if you are interested, yes, this was a little complicated sometimes. Imagine, you, being a happily married couple and not having a door on your room!! Ok, moving on. :) Trust me, I could go on and on about not having a door.

Anyway, since the kids are now sharing a room, we moved into Brother's room. Which I am thrilled about. Not only does it have a door, it has a LoCk. Imagine, a door with a lock!!!!

Brother's room was a dark navy bluish color on the bottom, and tan on the top with a border that went around in the middle. Well, the border was pulled half off (thanks Eli). So we decided to paint the bottom half chocolate brown, and put a chair rail up. I am madly in LoVe with it.

I also got new curtains. Which again, I am MADLY in LoVe with.

I feel so grown up now. I have a real room!!! With a door that locks!!!


Now our next project is to do get some paint for the kids room. Brother isn't thrilled about being in a pink and purple room.

I really like the room-not that it matters. Alll that matters is that you like it. Pretty.

I LOVE your new room! Such pretty colors you chose. And imagine - a door with a lock . . . I am so jealous.
We currently don't even have a door. . . :-)

Having been without a door, or much less a lock, I completely understand your elation.

That would be why when we moved into the new part of the house the door and lock were one of the first things we had. EVEN BEFORE CURTAINS!

gotta have priorities!

I couldn't EVEN imagine being a madly inlove married couple w/o a bedroom door! How awful! LOL
I'm glad you are all grown up and moved into a room w/ some privacy.
Yeah Julie!
Enjoy yourself and your tranquil,private mommy and daddy room!
