Home Tour - S and M's Room

This by far is the most talked about color in our house (and on the blog and fb) everyone LOVES it!

It is called Sea Wave. To me, it is the perfect turquoise color!

The younger girls also have the same chandelier and a pink closet like E. I talked about it more here.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Another quick weekend project was painting this auction mirror the same watermelon color as the butterflies. (Rememeber my auction story,  if not click on the link!)

A fun fact is that when I took the mirror out it was stamped 1966 (which explains the ugly gold color!)

What once was an outdated mirror has turned into a real beauty with just a little spray paint! Don't you agree?

Some of the details

Pink Butterflies

We are all getting excited about moving to our new house later this month! So when we had a warm day this weekend, we jumped at the opportunity to tackle a few quick projects for the girl's rooms.

I got 3 of these little butterflies at the thrift store for $2.00. (The funny thing is I remember my mom having these butterflies in her kitchen when I was growing up, but hers were yellow :)

We spray painted them a lovely watermelon color.

We are all happy with the results and I think the pink will look great against the turquoise walls.

Flooring in the Girl's Room

S helped Scot lay the flooring in her room. (The kids think it is so cool to be able to help with their own rooms!) She worked for 5 hours with her daddy and was a HUGE help!

The Girl's Chandeliers

Don't you just love the pretty little chandelier we got for the girls rooms? I think they are perfect amount of bling for their rooms....can't wait to see them installed!

Paint Color - S's Room

We have been trying to decide on paint colors for the new house. After seeing this picture over at Just a Girl, I think we have found the color for S and M's room.

I asked S what she thought of the color and she said, "Oh I love it! Can I have it for my room?" I think that settles it don't you?

New Lamps for the Girl's Rooms

I found this silver lamp at the GW for $1.29. Can you believe that? I added a $4 lamp shade and now S has the stylish, grown-up lamp she has been wanting!

 E has been wanting a glass lamp for her room. It really does pay to be patient. I could have bought one at tar-jay for $20.00 without a shade, instead I found this cutie for $5.00 (including the shade) at a garage sale!

The purple base does not match her room, but that is an easy fix. We will just spray paint it :)
