My legs hurt, my arms hurt....I just hurt! But thank God, we are done with the girls rooms! WooHoo Homer Simpson style....
I can't believe how wonderfully the rooms came out. I finished wee one's this morning, and when I brought her home from her party, I made her close her eyes ala Changing Rooms/Trading Spaces. She was so thrilled. She said, "I love it so much I could just die!" she kept running around the room, touching things. The pictures really don't do it justice. I put "jewels" on all her drawer pulls, closet doors, put clothes pins above her desk to hold pictures or papers....it's like a whole other room. Looks so much bigger too. I am thrilled with it.
Betsy's room is absolutely gorgeous. The walls are all sparkled....it's a wonderfully cozy room. You could just grab a cup of coffee, sit on the couch, pop in a cd and read a good book. She is so happy with it. I put her Fairly Odd Parents picture on the back of her door because it didn't go with the "flow" of the room. I am not thrilled with the lei's on her mirror, as it disrupts the "flow" (go ahead, roll your eyes....she did too....), but it is her room, and she should get to put up ONE thing. LOL....
Right now I could just fall asleep. I started at 9 this morning and am just sitting down. Of course, while I'm doing all this, dh decides today is a great day to clean the rust off the grill legs....gee honey, that certainly is a priority while I am slaving away here. I mean, don't do the dishes or anything....sheesh! Okay, he did take down and clean the fan blades and lights for Bets, and he did paint her room....but still....I did 90% of the work! But that is neither here nor there....it's done and I'm so thankful!
I still have to organize wee one's closet....and paint one more shelf for her room. She still has about 100 frog figurines that I have to find places for. I'm going to go through her toys, and most definately make a trip to the Good Will....however, I'll do that while she is in school.
Okay, I'm off to lie down....and probably crash for the night. ZZzzzzzzzzzz....

Love the glitter paint...how cool is that! Wee-ones room is adorable! I cannot believe that not only did you get all that painting done, but everything back together also!! Take tommorow off! LOL! Have A Great Night, KIM:)
Great job! I don't know how you did those rooms so fast. You need to come here. It will take 2 of us weeks to paint the cellar.
Wow. So happy you got everything done. Your pictures aren't showing up for me right now so I'll have to come back in a bit to really see what you've done. Hope you have a relaxing night.
WTG! I bet you are dead tired though lol You're making me not want to start on my boys' rooms or the new nursery lol I think when D gets here HE's doing all of it lol
It looks great!

They turned out great! How fun for your girls. How did you make the walls in Betsy's room sparkly? My youngest dd has a very similar bunk set up in her room.
The rooms look just gorgeous and I really love the glitter paint I've never seen that before, do you buy it like that?
Wee-Ones room is just too cute! I love all her frogs!! And Betsy's room!! Wow what a lucky girl she is!! Where did you get that paint????? I have to know cuz you gave me a great idea now for Josh's room!!
Great Job!!
Hugs, Julie
WOW! Woman, I have to say you are for one a very brave person using such bold colors and you are also one heck of an interior designer! Your girls rooms came out GORGEOUS! How do you get the paint to have glitter on it? Do you blow the glitter on when the paint is still wet? I have a big time aversion to glitter, but it might be neat to do one of Bethany's walls with it. You have to let us in to your secrets Martha . . . oops, I mean Sherry! LOL! Hope you get some sleep and enjoy just sitting in those rooms tomorrow and soaking it all in. You deserve it!
Hugs and love, Lisa
