The painting bug

Since I painted my bathroom and I thought that it turned out so cute, I thought I would take up another challenge... Paint Marquel's bedroom! To take it one step farther, I thought I would paint some stripes on her wall, easy, right? Well, it wasn't that hard, just took a lot of time! I still need to add the chair rail but, so far I am really pleased with the end result.

Marquel has been staying with my parents and my brother Jared and his wife Traci for a week, so she hasn't seen the results. I sure hope she loves the new look of her room!

Bathroom Makeover

A couple of months ago, I decided that I was tired of our bathroom, and felt like I needed to do something about it. The quickest way to refresh a room is new paint, so I went to Home Depot, (Now, I have never painted before, so I went and picked out some color samples, and a book on painting.) After much looking and reading on painting, I went and had the paint of my choice mixed. Next I was going to need the painting tools. There are so many tools to pick from, but I finally settled on a roller, and some sponge brushes, a paint tray and some painters tape. I was now ready to paint my bathroom.

After three days of painting and some serious clean up here are the results! I absolutly love the look of my bathroom. Now I do believe I am ready to move onto a bigger room! Just need to settle on a color!

Finished! I two toned the doors and just love them.
