Got Paint?

We do!  This past weekend, we decided to let the girls pick out paint and assisted them in painting their bedrooms.  It was an adventure, to say the least.  The girls have never painted rooms before and, for their first time, I was impressed. 

The oldest decided to go with a camouflage theme.  She picked out her colors and we bought a sponge roller to create the camo pattern. 

The younger two decided on painting two of the four walls pink and the other two walls purple.  They wanted lime green, black, purple and pink dots on the walls.  Very bold colors. 

The camo pattern turned out excellent.  I was worried about how it would look, but after the first coat with the sponge roller, we knew it would be great.

She painted her bed, also.  We keep joking with her that she'll never be able to find her bed frame....

The dots took for-ev-er to put on the walls.  Had to outline them, paint them with white primer and then three coats of color.  I got voted to outline them (since I was the one with the steadiest hand).  They aren't perfect but the girls love their painted room-- so that's all that matters :)

They also chose to paint their beds.  Those aren't 100% finished yet.  They are lime green with black polka dots all over them and their names stenciled on there.  As a surprise finishing touch, we are getting glow-in-the-dark paint to outline their names. 

All-in-all, even though it was a stressful and packed weekend, I absolutely loved it.  Gave me a chance to be creative with the family and to bond with the girls.
