Rennovations

Well, the kids' rooms still aren't quite finished, but I'm thinking I might as well post pix of what we have so far:

Rach & Zekers shared bunk beds in this room. Since we finished it just before we were shocked to find out about Karis' existence, it started out as Rach's Dora room. 2 walls were blue, 2 were purple, the trim was yellow and the closet door hot pink. Needless to say, it now looks much different! I still need to put up curtains and get the rug cleaned, but I figure I've got 3 months, so why not put all that off until the last minute?


Sweet Kari Bou's Dora bed. This is actually the toddler bed Danny used when he was Kari Bou's age.


Zekers absolutely loves sleeping under Mater and Lightning. We finally broke down the other day and actually bought him the movie . . .


If you click on this picture, you can see some of our embellishments to Tink.

Rachel's favorite


Before
This has been the "baby room" since we moved into our house in 2002. It was kind of sad scraping off the stripes and the sun, moon & stars mural I so meticulously painted on with the help of family and friends before Rachel was born. *sigh* But the kids love their "new" room.

After: doorway perspective


Danny's parents also gave us their old TV and stand, so we spent several hours completely rearranging the living room and finally got rid of our old, falling-apart entertainment set that we've had since we were newlyweds - YEA!!! If anyone gets a hankerin' to watch HD TV, just give them a call. . . .

I can't wait to see the new rooms! I did love the baby room you had with the sun, moon and stars. I always loved that theme in the room and the colors, but the new baby room looks wonderful too.

It looks so nice! You did a great job of creating a room that makes everyone feel good....despite different ages and genders. I'm impressed!

The rooms look twice as big with the new color. Good job.

And about the HD TV. Apparently after Pa gets home from work ESPN is the only station it gets :-/
