Boys Room

Blake and I realized that the first thing that we would have to do when moving into the new house was going to be to get the kid's rooms ready.

They were not the worst rooms but we understood two things:

1. Our kids would transition better if their rooms were done.

2. We needed somewhere that they could play and be out of the way.

Gavin and Canon's room had this lovely orange and yellow shag carpet and dirty walls. Dirty as in...boogers on the walls dirty.

The walls were all beige along with the ceiling.

We found a paint sprayer at Home Depot marked down so we took the plunge and bought it. We figured that by the time we painted all of our ceilings and doors it would be worth it.

We were right.

The ceilings got painted in white ceiling paint. I debated for awhile as to whether or not I wanted to paint them a color, but in the end decided that white was safe and I didn't want to hate them and have to repaint after we had moved in.

The carpet came up fairly easily.

There were a lot of staples and nails to pull out..but the wood floors underneath were in excellent shape.

We painted the walls in Dolphin Fin by Behr paint, which is a light grey color.

Their room, while we were working on the rest of the house, ended up being referred to as the "Lego room."

Which made perfect sense.

This room saved our sanity.

Most of the time.

Unless someone was hogging all of the Lego light sabers.
