Pictures

Granted these are all pictures of just one room. I decided that I would post photos of rooms as I get them done. This room isn't 100% done, but I decided today it's about as done as it's gonna get for a while. I think later I'll put curtains in and a few more hangings or something. New furniture would be nice too, but we aren't that rich :)
This is Eden and Becca's room.
The BEFORE shot: The AFTER shots from all angles: (I know it's overdoing it a bit.)




I have to say I hated doing this stuff on the walls. After about literally 16 hours (that's not including all the breaks I had to take from it), I was saying bad words in my head. I wont tell you which ones. Steve doesn't like when I want to decorate and I think he'd tell me I couldn't spend any money or time on it if I asked for his help, so I couldn't. But Anna had come over one day and helped me paint the pink walls. Thanks Anna!
It's all over and I think it turned out nice. The girls really like their new room. One room down, many more to go...

    Your "not 100% done" room is done 100% more than any one room in any house I have ever owned. It's loverly.

    Great job Manda. It feels good after the job is done to look back and enjoy your work. I never knew you were so artistic! A little nesting going on over there huh.

    That looks incredible. Are those stick-ons or something? 'Cause I can't imagine anyone painting that.

    To all who assumed I painted this --- I didn't. It's this stuff called "Instant Stenciling". The fencing took about 20 minutes PER FOOT of stenciling, so it wasn't so instant.

    Instant stenciling counts as painting. Looks great. You are talented.
