It's time for a change!
My very sweet, almost 3 year old is moving into a 'Big Girl' room and she couldn't be more excited. She has specifically asked for a blue room.
Tuesday night I frantically went to LOWES and purchased some VERY blue paint. Mom and I finally got around to painting the room on Sunday.
It is not anywhere near complete, but I wanted to at least keep you all up to date with our renovations.
BEFORE
AFTER PRIMER
(Lowes guy tinted the primer blue for me, to 'make the job easier'... It definitely helped out!)
Little miss thang came to sneak a peak and couldn't resist touching the blue!
And finally....
KAMI'S BLUE ROOM
I love, love, love the blue! As does sweet lady K! And, luckily, so does daddy!
Whoo-hoo!
Sadly, my mom will be moving to the Philippines here in a few short weeks. (We are going to miss you and Eric so very much!) But thankfully, Bella (my mom) has agreed to paint Kami's new room before her big move... You can see her art work here.
If you know me in real life (not that blog life is fake life...) you know that I have an insanely wild imagination and you know that I love all colors. When designing Kami's room, I knew I wanted the theme of her room to include 'movies'. Not all movies... I wanted to focus on movies that she loves and those all tend to have vivid colors, imaginative characters, and good messages.
Movie's we chose:
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium
From this one we're pulling most of the toys, the street lamp, and the stars. The stars will be carried throughout the top portion of the room (like a border) to connect the different scenes.
Meet the Robinsons
Probably going to use a quote from this one and these frogs...
Because they are awesome.
Harry Potter, of course...
Mom will be painting this image of Hogwarts school (see below) in one corner of the room and Hedwig will be to the right of the castle.
Ramona and Beezus
See the hand-prints on Beezus's shirt? We're going to use our (me, Kev, and Kami) hands (and maybe even our feet!) to connect the scenes alone the bottom of the walls. (Stars on top, hands on bottom!)
So there it is...
My crazy dream room for Kami that only my mom can make come true...
Thanks Bella.
We love you.
A lot.
Peace my lovelies
