Paint the Playroom/Kitchen - #95 - CHECK!

I've been wanting to paint our playroom and kitchen area since we moved in. I also had a little bit of old wallpaper to take down and texture underneath. So I took advantage of my aunt LaRessie and her family being in town and recruited some extra laborers. I was so thankful for all of their help with the painting and decorating. It LOVE how it all turned out. I'll let the pictures do the talking!

BEFORE:

Yucky old ceiling fan I couldn't wait to get rid of!

DURING:

The first roll! I liked the color on the wall immediately!

DECORATED!!!

I had been wanting to display dishes on this shelf in our breakfast nook for a long time. It finally made it from an idea in my head to an actual display! Woo hoo!

All of the decorations are hand made. My aunt and I decoupaged the animal print letters and painted the rod. We also cut of the 3 animal pictures, mounted and framed them. And my Uncle Mark cut out the big monkey and giraffe for me and we covered them with fabric! LOVE it! I also found those 2 big baskets at Target to hold toys - and stay in the jungle theme!

Check out the cute animal prints we found and framed!

Where's Waldo... er... Gabby

I made these flower pictures using scrapbook paper by using some pictures my mother-in-law had as a template

It makes me smile every time I walk in that room now which is quite often. The simple pleasures in life...
