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
