Painting Phase 1 Complete

Yesterday I sucked it up and decided to go for it and it didn't take me nearly as long as I thought it would. I love the results! I actually am contemplating painting the ceiling gray as well... someone will have to tell me if that's a good or bad idea.

The next two steps are the baseboards and then the molding around the room to separate the blue and gray. Which should be fun. Just need to find a miter saw and nail gun; which I think I've already done. 

Wyatt liked it yesterday and this morning told me he wants to paint his room with red and black stripes. Hopefully he starts to like it again!

Wyatt's Room Update

I have picked the colors for Wyatt's room with a little help from my sister, Andrea. After I picked them out I realized that the colors are already in Wyatt's bedding. So, it must be fate. And thanks to Sherwin Williams and their 40% off sale, I should have all I need. I hope. The colors are also a little brighter than they show below (minus the gray). Can't wait to see how it turns out. 

1. Revel Blue (SW6530). This will be his main wall color up to 7ft on the wall.

2. Sundance (SW6897). This will be an accent color. Probably a few picture frames. 

3. Light French Gray (SW0055). This will be the second wall color from 7ft up. 

4. Organic Green (SW6732). This will also serve as an accent color. I am going to check out DI to see if I can find a new dresser that I can spruce up. His current dresser is about 36 years old and has just about seen it's last day. 

Easter and TBall and Instagram, Oh my!

Remember when all the iPhone users started using instagram and it was instagram this and instagram that? Well, now I know why because it's available for droid (As if you didn't already know that). It's fun and I have been sucked in.

Today Kate and I played leap frog with the watching of kids. It was fun to have Tori over and I was able to get quite a bit of work done while they were doing their thing. I snapped a few photos because they are cute and really because I wanted to use instagram.

We also had Easter. Kate's neighbor had a fun Easter egg hunt on Saturday for friends and family and we (aka Wyatt) were lucky enough to be invited over. They had pancakes, eggs, and fruit for everyone and the hunt for the kids was a blast and the weather was beautiful. On Sunday we had a low key day, dinner with most of the family and then just hung out like we do.

Kate snapped this photo of W. I love it.

Hanging out eating their candy.

When did they grow up?

Love.

W had his first Tball game on Monday, it was crazy. Today seemed to go a little smoother and they are catching on. I quickly found out that Tball is as much for the parents as it is for the players. Everyone participates! I found I like being at 1st base when our team is up to bat. It's funny trying to guide them to the plate. We also had team pictures, so it will be fun to see those.

That's pretty much all I have for today. It has been a long crazy week and I should probably rest up for the madness that will be Thursday. Ciao

T.Ball Time

I've always been excited for the time when Wyatt could start playing sports, and that time has come. I signed him up to play Tball with his buddy, Jasek. Wyatt is so excited and hasn't taken his jersey shirt off since we got it. Which seems kind of gross now... maybe I should do something about that? He is such a great kid and I'm glad he will get this fun opportunity. His first game is on Monday when we play the Diamondbacks!

In his new shirt & hat. Go Brewers!

Wyatt & Jasek

Wild hair. Time to remodel!

I don't know about any of you, but I can only search through pinterest and endless blogs before I want to start a project.

Not really knowing where to start and being on a budget I have decided to put a few dream boards together.

A few months back I decided to switch the theme in Wyatt's room from cowboy to sports. And aside from his bedding, it's all still pretty much cowboy. So I started to look for some ideas and remembered seeing a boys bedroom I really loved. (found here)

I love the idea of this room and am using it as my inspiration. Today I went over to home depot, found two great colors and priced out the mdf boards that will be going around the room. Both these colors on the swatches are a lot darker than they look below. I will probably run over to Sherwin Williams and check out their blues and see if there is anything I like more. But for now, it is between these two.

Midnight Dream

After showing my sister Kate, she thought it would be cool to have the blue and then a light grey above the boards, which I completely agree.

I also found a super cheap and easy tutorial to update the baseboards in his room, here.

So, there we go. I'm excited to be able to get started and show the progress. Hopefully it turns out as cute as I am picturing it in my head!
