Emily's Room

Well, my latest project that I started out of the blue is painting Emily's Room. I had last Thursday off and Emily and I went out to lunch with Matt and then we stopped by Home Depot. I just wanted to look at the colors to see what would go with the decor. I bought the paint and all the supplies and decided that I'm just going to do it.
As soon as I got home, I put Emily down for a nap and started painting her room while she was in her crib. Don't worry, I bought environmentally safe paint that doesn't release any smells. It's safe for babies and pregnant moms too. I'm really glad I got it because it dries so fast. I think I hung everything back on the walls within a few hours.
I'm painting by myself and I am only able to get one wall done at a time. It takes a lot of work to get one wall done with a couple of coats and by then I'm too tired to do the next wall. When I told Matt that I wanted to paint Emily's room he told me to have fun. I'm too much of a perfectionist so I'd rather do it myself anyway.

I wanted to paint her room purple but she already has a lot of purple in the room so I decided to go with a green. I really like it and it seems to make everything pop. Before it just looked so bland with white walls and white furniture and white trim. It felt like we were living in an apartment still.

I tore off little pieces of tape that kept tearing in the wrong direction and I noticed that Emily was taking them and putting them in different places of her room and the walls in the hallway.
She wanted to help so badly and got mad at me when I shut her out of her room.

Here are the two walls that I have finished. Hopefully I'll have the other two done by next week.

ooooo I love it!!! Painting is a pain for sure. ESPECIALLY when you have no help (way to go Matt)! It looks super cute!
