Home Renovations Part I

We have been busy making improvements to our home.  Our house was built in 1977 so it has some room for some updating!  Lots was done when we moved in 4 years ago but there is still a long list of things that we would like to do.

Some of it is just paint like the kids rooms.  My mom made the kids both quilts and Isla’s especially screamed at the walls. Here is the before:

We also painted the doors, closet doors and trim boards white.  They were a dark wood, and that has to be one of the best changes in the rooms, it really makes it look less like a 1970’s house.  The downside is that it takes days to paint them as they have to dry 12 hours in between coats and you can only do one side at a time.  Lots of painting to do in the rest of the house!

So I had bought a some special things for the kids rooms to personalize them a bit more.  I got Adam some Star Wars the Clone Wars stickers.

And poor Isla, I got here these mirrored hearts that apparently to heavy for the amount of sticky ratio.  We put them on and they started falling off, she couldn’t even sleep in her room that night because every time they fell off they would wake her up!  We have to try and get some sticky tack and see if that will help.

Gotta keep it real.  This was Adam’s room when I went upstairs just now to take a picture.
