Being productive again

I can't believe how productive I can be when I feel good. I will NEVER take advantage of my health again. The last few days I felt so good that I finally got around to painting Maddie's room. Unfortunately she insists that her favorite color is purple (which I hate). But it is her room, so I allowed her to make that decision. I am still waiting for her bunk beds to be delivered (I ordered them last August, Rrrrrrr.....), but here are the walls. She is so excited about her purple walls she screams and jumps every-time she walks in.

I can't believe how much better a room looks with the walls painted. My favorite room in the house is Maddie's old nursery, but my goal is to make her new "big girl room" even prettier.

I love Maddie's old nursery too, especially because that is where Ava has to play according to Maddie:) My favorite color is purple, so I like the new room, I can't wait to see it finished. August... that is so long to wait for a bunk bed!

Purple isn't my favorite but I do like how purple rooms usually turn out. I know you will do a great job decorating it.

You didn't mention what you found under her bed!!

I can't wait to see it all done. Maddie has cute taste. :)

I'm sorry you don't like purple, because I love it. Hailey is always asking for a purple room. I'm glad you are feeling better. You didn't look bad, just tired and also, like a 15 year old. No fair. Good luck with the calling. I am sure you will be great.

what did you find under her bed?! That is a really nice paint job! Well done. :) Mark and I loooove to paint our house, and are excited to move in. This room looks really cute (old and new...but I love purple, so that's probably why I think so!). Good luck with getting the bunks. :)

Oh, I'm excited to see the finished room! I love Maddie's nursery and seriously think it could be in a magazine.
Also, I really want to know what you found under her bed now!

Maybe YOUR bunkbeds were made at the same factory as MY cabinets... :-/
