I've been waiting for Thursday and Friday all week. Yesterday, I had to run a bunch of errands and today I was looking forward to being home alone, but there,s a "storm" so the kids are home! It stayed cold this week so we weren't able to get out skating again. Not sure how much snow we're going to get (not much so far) so the path we made on the pond might be ok for the weekend.
C has been wanting to do her room over for a while, so we're finally doing it this weekend. She decided to paint her room blue-y-green. We mixed two paints that I got from the ReStore so long ago and came up with the bottom color.
I brought some paint swatches home from Canadian Tire and we chose Flowing Breeze in the CIL paint line. I like their Real-Life paint with primer (and it was on sale) so I bought a gallon of it in Matte finish.
Since her ceiling is painted pink and won't go with the new color, it has to be re-done too. As much as I'd like to put a little color on it, I think I'll keep it white so when the room gets painted again, the ceiling can just stay white. I finally got around to fixing the ceiling corner with drywall mud.
The desk will get a new coat of paint of the top. It's got a lot of pen marks on it.
(It's white, but doesn't it look pink in this photo?)
I'll have to paint all the trim which is also pink. I bought white CIL Real Life Latex paint in Semi-gloss. This is the same paint as the door. This would be a good time to finish the closet (behind the curtain), but I'm just gonna leave it...It still needs to be taped, mudded and primed. C's dresser is in the closet and the drawers are purple so that needs to be re-done too.
The "bulletin board" is white washed, but the trim will have to be painted white. We took the roof off the doll house. I have to cut down the back part. C is going to change it into shelves and it will get painted white.
We have to do a lot of filling in holes in the wall and ceiling!
Because most of the little furniture was light purple, it has to be repainted. This includes a heart table,
a shelf with heart cutout,
and her name letters.
C and her friend painted the table and shelf last weekend. They used the lighter color of the ReStore paint to do these. The letters still need to be painted. They also re-did the top of the ombre stool stool.
This is the inside part of the secretary. Since I keep books in there, C is going to use this on top of her desk. We painted it with Primer and 2 coats of white CIL Semi-gloss paint + primer.
We may get the room done this weekend, but it sure is a lot of work! I want C to help with it so she she's all the work that goes into it!
Enjoy your weekend! :-)
