Anyone who has been to our house knows....it's all beige. Every room, every corner. So this summer we are giving L and L their own rooms and decided not only to paint their rooms, but also much of the house as well. We decided to have a professional painter come in and paint the areas that would be seen by guests (downstairs and the guest bedroom) The twins' rooms and our bedroom we are doing ourselves.
Our first priority is to get the kids' rooms done so we can clear out the nursery so the painter can paint it. We are doing two tone rooms. This is Lucas'. It will be blue on both top and bottom, but with a lighter blue on top. (you can see both colors in the pic below). Where the two colors meet we will have a border of trains, cars, tractors, etc. Liliana's room is similar, but with pink on bottom and light yellow on top. We haven't started that room yet.
We are also repainting all the plantation shutters in our house. These are the indoor window treatments in the twins' rooms and our bedroom. Tried to paint them by hand and it looked horrible. So I googled it and the first thing they say is "do NOT try and paint by hand" Turns out spraypainting is the way to go. These too were beige and so we are painting them semi-gloss white to pop with the new colors in the rooms. More to come later....
