"after"

i didn't paint the walls in the girls' bedroom - but chose to accessorize with other things involving color!!

so - here's a view from the bedroom door. aren't the colors fabulous? the girls' picked them out when we were just "browsing" online. i bought them and didn't tell them - did the whole bedroom & bathroom as a surprise.

katy's bed. and see the new lamp? let there be light!! (want to know a 'secret'? the letters on the wall that spell the girls' names are fabric - i ironed them on. so cool, right?)

mak's bed - she does love green. lol.

i made a magnetic cork board for the girls' room. i purchased a cork board and painted over it with magnetic paint. THEN, i painted over that with regular spray paint. i glued ribbon on two sides of the board and some flowers. so this way, the girls can hang things via magnets OR push pins.

here are close-ups of the flower magnets i made. i love them!!

here is a little pen holder that i spray painted the same color as the cork board - although the color doesn't look the same.

pen holder, you say? those are flowers, aren't they? wrong!!

and on to the bathroom. i painted it a pretty blue that matches one of the blues on their comforters. so much nicer to look at. the little wall hanging thingie above the toilet is a clippie holder for all the flower clips that the girls love to use. note the purple trash can - i painted it and glued a cute ribbon around it. squeeee!

here's the shower area. there are 2 green towels and 2 blue towels. each girl has one of each color.

the other two towels hang on the back of the door leading to their bedroom.

in case you couldn't read the saying above the towel holder on the wall, i printed out some vinyl and attached it.

one more vinyl saying - it's in the 'hallway' leading to the door leading to the hallway that leads to the play area in the basement. clear as mud.

i love these two rooms!! i do love color and the girls just love it. it was so fun to see their faces when they saw the rooms for the first time.

now, on to becka's room. taking off the wall paper may prove to be my undoing.
