The new room...

.....is done. Ok, so it's not really a new room as you know, it's the old ugly room that I posted photos of before we ventured out on the extreme makeover weekend. The experience was great (there were a few tense moments like when my husband dropped the bed frame on his toes poor guy). The whole thing has left us a bit bruised and beaten as we did battle with tape and the spray machine then had to build all the furniture- it took from early Sat morning until late Monday night. But it was worth it. I'm glad we went ahead with the project (even though I hate spending the little money we have on anything other than necessities right now). And I'm happy that I have such a hard-working spouse with grit and determination.

We really need new curtains to go with the new room, and I have a lot of touching up to do and a few paint splatters to clean off of the doors but all in all, I love it! The Englishman loves it. The kids love it (and now want their rooms decorated pronto). Even Jonah the puppy (who now officially has Valley Fever by the way) loves it and walked all the way into the room from outside to see what all the fuss was about (walking is very hard for him right now so that was a big thing). :-)

The green turned out waaaay brighter than I thought it would, we ended up going with a paint from Ace Hardware called "grasshopper wing" because it was a close match for the "apple green" sample I had. So, while it's a little on the neon side it's also an instant pick me up- just what we need some days.

What do you think??

Seriously...what do you think? Is it too green? :-)
