Just wanted to update you on the kids rooms in the big house. I mixed the paint for the walls in the girls room. The color is much prettier than you can see here. Lighting can be really tricky inside of these little rooms. I tried several techniques, but still did not get it right.
I got a bit of white paint on the walls then tried to blend it in. YUK! Also, the brush bristles left things a bit streaky. I had to mix a whole new batch to even things out. Lesson learned: mix much more paint than you need.
The carpet is installed and the window treatments are on their way.There will also be working lighting in there. The pillows are from my stash which come from a variety of sources.
My friend Bill tried to teach me to cut moulding, but I think I need another lesson. I really want to have nice crown moulding in all of the rooms. Window and door framing will also give it a nice finished look. I am working on those. I want her to have a door to her room. After all little girls need their privacy!
My stash also has lots of cute knick-knacks and wall accessories to go around and I can't wait to get them in there!

UP-UPDATE!
I can't help it. When I get a mini idea I have to act on it immediately even if it is out of order. Hence the bed canopies. I think they will look even better once the window treatment gets up. Normally, the curtains would go up first, but I just had to see how this would look. The wall was still wet. LOL

Hello from Spain: the painting in pink is awesome. The canopy of the beds are very stylish. It looks like a princess room. I would love to be a child again and have that room. Your work is wonderful. Very lovely. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteMarta,
DeleteThank you very much! Your words are truly inspiring!
I love the wall color. The little girl or girls will surely love this room. : )
ReplyDeleteGeorgia Girl,
DeleteThanks so much. I used about 4 colors to get it just right.
Hello Grandmommy,
ReplyDeleteNow I ask you, what girl would not cry of joy to have a room like this. It is coming along so beautifully. You really have created such a fun, welcoming, happy space. I love the canopies over the bed. They look fantastic and finsh the beds beautifully. I am glad you were able to fix the paint. Keep up the fantastic work. This room will be a show stopper.
Big hug,

Giac,
DeleteThank you! You are always so encouraging! I hope you are pleased with the finished project.
Major hugs my friend.
I love what you have done so far. The color is stimulating, and juxtaposed with white furniture makes it a pretty feminine room for a little girl. Crown molding would look awesome, and framing out the door is going to make a huge difference. Can’t wait to see it finished. Well done.
ReplyDeleteRoville,
DeleteThanks so much! I have some really nice moulding. Now if I can only find it and relearn how to cut it. LOL
Keep watching. I hope you enjoy the finished project.
Love he color. You're making wonderful progress. I'm anxious to see it finished. I'm sure you are, too.
