Tuesday January 7

So we got Port's floor done and his bed into his room today.

I still have shelf, bookshelf and desk plans.....and some kind of window coverings and painted trim too.

But for now, he likes his new space :)

The little brown blanket on the end of his bed was my 'inspiration' for the room.

I made the quilt for him before he was born, and I really wanted to keep it as part of his room.

I also have a collection of vintage looking metal vehicles that will be displayed on shelves....

And what I am most excited about, I am gonna paint a world map on the wall by the rocking chair.

Should be really cool :)

The coloring/lighting in these pictures are not very good......

If you look at the before picture at the very bottom, those colors are the real colors.....like the green of the bedspread :)

And speaking of the before shot......pretty sad right?

When we moved it, the room was kind of a yellow cream color.

I found a can of cheap green paint and started painting.

But when I figured it would take like three coats to make it look good, I quit.

Ugly!

And his floor was just cement with glue from carpet being glued down.....

We painted it with paint we have had for years, $5 clearance paint.......and it turned out awesome!

And aren't the stripes on the floor so fun!!!!!

Porter is so excited about having a really big boy bed...

I will be sure to put new pictures as I finish the room.
