and then the children go on vacation! With their grandparents! Out of state!
I sooooo need a break. But what they don't know is that for Christmas I am going to paint their rooms! The week they are gone I will paint the house! Pink for Melody, Red and Blue for the big boys who share a room, and something for Levi.
When I think of Levi, I always think of the 'Lion and the Lamb' theme. I'm just not sure what colors would go along with that theme. Perhaps something neutral and then add the decor to it. I'll actually have to create most of his decor, since I've never seen any Lion and Lamb bedroom decor.
The big boys are going nautical. What better way to combine red and blue, other than turning everything purple, which I don't think they'd appreciate very much.
Melody has a princess theme. Her bedspread is 'Bohemian Princess.' It will grow with her, unlike the Disney Princess theme that I don't necessarily like. She will love the dusty rose color I have chosen, and I may even paint her dresser to match! Not pink mind you, but perhaps a nice desert sand color.
Sofia will be in our bedroom for the remainder of our time in this house, unless we move her to Mel's room when she begins sleeping through the night. Our room will be a calming dark olive green. My bedding is burgundy and gold, so this will make a nice contrast. I love those three colors together!
Anyway, I'll photo everything as I go and post before and after pictures each day. I'll be doing one room a day, so this should be fun!
Enjoy your holiday!

They are going to LOVE it!! I love how you are using your nesting instinct, but I do wish I could help you out. That is a major undertaking. Although, I must admit, I did the same thing for a room at my mom's house a month before delivering my 4th. In fact, I hauled a roll of linoleum from the van, into her house, and up a flight of stairs then too. WHAT?!?!?! Was I insane? LOL probably.
I kept hearing the words of the old timers: "don't raise your hands over your head, or the cord will wrap around the baby's neck".
Praise God, none of my kids have had that happen.
What fun! I wish I could come down to help. I love painting and so need to repaint the master bedroom in our house! (never was happy with the shade of green we ended up with). Be very careful and have some time to relax from being a full-time mommy!
