Ivy's new room

Since Scott was off work for Memorial Day Weekend I decided it would be the perfect time to paint Ivy's room. This is actually the first painting job in the house so far. We've lived here almost a year now, so its about time!

Scott helped me tape around the edges and in the center of the room, but I did all the painting myself. Scott hates painting and always wants just white walls, because it is too much work. I always have to beg him to let me paint anything. So I promised to do the work myself, if he watched the kiddos, and he agreed. After all the painting was done and dry, Scott was a great sport and helped me put up the border (which turned out to be way more difficult than I had anticipated).

Anyway, here is the finished product. To my surprise, it turned out very cute (after I painted the green, I was like, oh crap it looks like mint!), I am very happy with the results. In case you can't tell from the pictures, the bottom is a very light pink, and the top is green.

I love the new room. Paytons was that way in St. George with two tones of two different greens and a cute whinne the pooh border. The border sucks to put up!! The end result is well worth it though, Im sure she will love it! =)

I am surprised you put any pink in her room at all, even if it is super light. Looks really good. Nice job.
