DD2 is helping at camp this week so I thought it would be fun to re-paint her room. She had picked the colours a few months ago so it's not a total surprise...
When we moved into this home, her bedroom was in shades of taupe/brown. It really did not feel much like a girl's bedroom - especially a girl that was in to Winnie the Pooh!!! At that time, I covered the brown with pink & blue and gave her a Winnie the Pooh border.... she absolutely loved the transformation.
Fast forward eight years or so and Winnie-the-Pooh just doesn't seem to hold the same kind of attraction that he once did.
I had a little tiny surprise on Tuesday when I started the initial prep work... as I took off some 3M command hooks from the wall, a chunk of paint came off with one of them. No big deal, I thought... except when I took a closer look, I realized that there was a huge patch of paint that was peeling loose. This meant a little extra prep work as I needed to repair this area before I could even think about painting.
I found the drywall mud and went to it. By the end of Tuesday, it was ready for primer.
Because yesterday was Canada Day, Florian was home. I didn't really want to spend my day painting when he was home; besides, I could paint today when he was back at work!!!
This is what the room now looks like!!!
Her bed won't stay in that corner- I just moved it so I could get pictures of the two colours that are on her walls. I hope she loves it as much as I do!!I'm not sure quite when she'll be home, but I'd love to get some white shelves for her walls and have her room completely finished before she sees it!! I can hardly wait for her reaction!!!
