Painting Our Kids' Rooms... so far

Good morning!

So, I had actually written this post on my phone, and went to publish it, and a message popped up that said "capcha needed". Great. So I searched and searched and no where was there somewhere for me to type the capcha. I figured it must have something to do with the fact I was trying to upload a picture with the post. So, I copied what I had, and opened a new post and pasted... then went to publish. Nope. Still need a capcha. And there is no help or anything as an option on this app... so I guess I'll try a different one.

Anyways, I wanted to post what my kids' rooms look like this far. We are in the process of moving around our 4 kiddos.

We have 4 rooms in our house. It used to be... Our room, Em (my 6 year old daughter) and Little Man (my 18 month old son) shared a room, Bug (my 5 year old daughter), and Sleeping Beauty (my 3 year old daughter) shared a room, then a craft/toy/spare room. Now, Em will have her own room, Bug will have hers, and Sleeping Beauty and Little Man will share.

We thought it would be fun to make the rooms more 'theirs'. Em's room was first. She wanted Angry Birds. :) So here is what we came up with:

This is one of her walls. Here is some more pictures of her room:

Close up of the pigs and their castle.

One this wall will be her name, in the Angry Bird font. Also, we will put a Bible verse here. I'm thinking the verse that says to be slow getting angry... fitting verse for a room of Angry Birds :)

Em wanted to make her own 'poster' of the lovebirds for her room... so Mark (my husband) figured why not just draw it on her wall.

A close up of the Angry Birds and their sling shot. My amazing husband freehanded all the birds and pigs. I painted the grass, the clouds and the sun!

Here is the sun I painted. I was excited by how it turned out. :)

Anyway, so that is Em's room. Total cost was maybe $30. We had a $7 rebate to Menards, which helped with buying the blue wall paint. Then we bought the little bottles of paint from Michaels, I think, along with the little paintbrushes. Oh, and the paint pens! Couldn't do the details without those!

This weekend, we spent time painting the walls in what will be Little Man and Sleeping Beauty's room. We bought the paint about a month after we moved in, and its just been sitting in our attic. It's a nice green... lighter than a celery green, I think. It will have a frog theme when we are done. Sunday, I worked in Bug's room. Her room has all ready been painted... we did that room not long after we moved in. Bug is a fan of Spiderman. BIG fan. So, instead of painting over her walls, I just 'added'.

Here is what I did:

I freehanded the Spider, along with the verse. I thought this was a fitting verse for Spiderman :)

Total cost: $0. I used leftovers from the Angry Bird room.

Hopefully, this weekend, we will have majority of the frog room done, and the rest of the other two rooms done.
