Our new rooms.....

...again...not a great photographer---but we have almost finished (with the exception of wall decor, which go up this week) two of the upstairs bedrooms---we've enjoyed doing this together---dave has done a great job (albeit taken a lot longer than he wanted or planned)---here's some pics of Ace's room---the dresser turned out beautiful.... to truly appreciate the re-do---this dresser was covered with 25 years of white paint, then red paint, then burgundy paint---it took Dave forever to strip and sand it---but he got to get new tools---so he was happy.
Ace's room is red/black/gray----he painted the bed and shelves---chose all the bedding.. and yes---that is Nemo on his window ledge.....and a Superman pillow on his bed....still my baby boy!the hairy stuff standing up by the shelves are his collection of Harry Potter brooms! Ace's room used to have a blue w/clouds ceiling (a nightmare to repaint) and a mural on 2 walls of a landscape with a barn, tepee, trees, the carpet was nasty 10 yr old---furniture was so beat up from 2 boys growing up in that room... Our Guest room! first time we've ever had a place we can close the door and have ready for guests---what a wonderful thing! ---it will be the L.D. Bell room---with all of our band memorabilia around...a shrine to my favorite past-time--marching band. I've gathered all the old T-shirts from all the years of marching band and the different competitions, medals, band pics, marching band charts---I'm excited to finish this room---has our PS2 and a tv in it to finish off the 'den/guestroom' feel...this room used to be lemon yellow and sky blue---including the doors and closet---again---DONT EVER LET YOUR KIDS DO THAT!---but now it is neutral---and HGTV says that is good...so when you come to visit me---ask to see my shrine!
