Weekend (or two) Painting Extravaganza!

We finally decided what Murphy 2.0s room would be painted as.
And since we had done a "few" stripes in Avas room we figured   we would be fine.

I should add Tony does ALL of the measurements and the line tape work. I usually do the tape work on wood and rolling the paint out.
It works well for us we both get a break from it and then we get to play with Ava.

So this is our Inspiration picture.

Did you know they list their paint choices- FABULOUS!  It made it so much easier in choosing the colors.
However Hiersfields was the only place that carried it so I had to go get the paint chips from them and then we had Home Depot mix the paint for us.

We switched it up a little bit.. I thought too many stripes might be too much for the room.. so from chair rail height down is the dark pink, and everything above that is the alternating stripes!
Last weekend we got done all 4 walls with the two different color pinks and one wall of stripes.
This next weekend will just be a quick striping and then it will be done for painting. We are also adding a chair rail.
I wont lie I looked at it at first and I wanted to throw up. . . PINK is everywhere. We are so NOT pink people; But I think once we start bringing in some teal and green and the furniture it will tone its self down.
Ava calls it "Sisters Room"  It was so sweet I had tears in my eyes.

Also Tony did my shelves for the kitchen.  I am SUPER happy with those. We were working with a blank LARGE wall.. I'm not one for a lot of "art work" hanging. But I do like pictures of the family and some random stuff... So this wall will end up being a little spot of everything. The top shelf currently has Ava's Valentines day art work she made at Cyndi's when I was at work. I love it its so cute. And fits nice. I cant wait to figure out what will really go on all the shelves.


Excuse the cell phone picture.. but it didn't turn out too bad so I didn't think it was necessary to bring out the Nikon.Also, that black box thing on the bottom. My Christmas present. One of those digital picture frames. We are still waiting for the company to send us the digital card thing. It was supposed to come with it but Tonys work forgot! Oops!
