21774 - The Girls Room a.k.a. the Guest Bedroom

Tandy was going to surprise everyone by painting rooms and installing new curtainry and bedstuffs while we were gone to camp. The secret got out though and on Amanda's birthday while Jack and I were out helping a friend with his blown-down fence, Tandy asked Amanda if she wanted to see her paint color and Amanda replied, "Cool, can we paint too?"

So, after a couple of hours of helping a friend I returned home to a wife covered in paint from top to bottom and a formerly white room with dramatic changes. Tandy and I later went to town for some groceries and we could see the bright blue through the curtainless windows all the way out at the road. For me it brings to mind memories of the ranch in Johnson City. The room that was always simply referred to as The Blue Room.


Here is Amanda in the mostly completed room. Her new bedsheets are blue and orange. The quilt on top is reversible and with Elizabeth's lime green and hot pink sheets it is a startlingly colorful room. I will post a picture later of the completed room with the new curtains, (also colorful) and the finished walls. There are currently plans for the girls to put bright colored, (green, orange, yellow, etc.) handprints and stars and stuff all over and they will also put their names over their respective closets in, wait for it, silver.

Later, we had some LC's pizza for dinner, and then Amanda cut the ice cream cake and the cookie cake. Craig likes cookie cake. Believe it or not, Jack made a smart remark just prior to the taking of this picture.

So, that was Amanda's birthday-day, (we did a small party thing after camp). Once the painting got started, it was hard to stop. Hang on, there's more on the way.....
