while the cat's away...

...the mouse will PAINT!


Lizzie's room is getting a makeover, and FINALLY a big girl bed. (I know, I know she's 3 1/2. I don't care, she's my baby. Leave me alone.)
Before the bed arrives, the room needed to be painted.
I got it done this morning (1/2 hour before the campers returned!)
I hope I chose the right shade of yellow.

It's so cheerful and from the pictures it looks like you did a perfect job. Can't wait to see the "I'm a big girl now, check out my room makeover" pictures.

I can't wait to see what you do! I have a feeling our last will be in the crib for awhile...I wish Addie still was :-)!

Love it!! LIt looks great. :) How did you do that with your two little helpers at home? My helpers would have had handprints all over the walls that were not being painted.

you did it! good job. from what I can tell, the color looks very good, I can't wait to see it all put together. It will be right out of pottery barn kids, of course.

You have always been good at picking paint colors. It will be fabulous. I can't wait to see the after pictures of the room.

Lizzie told me that when she gets her big girl bed her mom is going to sleep with her. Nice.

My word verification is stosammi. As in, you can sto sammi in the new storage compartment of the bed...

I love the shade of yellow you chose! I can't wait to see pictures of the room all done! Lizzie is so lucky!

What a lovely yellow. Can't wait to see it all done. I paint when my husband goes out of town. That way he can't stop me. And he is way too lazy to try and paint it back to the way it was.

I am sure your baby will love it!

I love the color! Would you like to come visit me? My whole house (except for the kids' bedrooms) could use a good painting. I just can't get motivated to do it.

Love it! Maybe you should share the secret color :)

Looks fantastic! My daughter's room was yellow in our first house. I loved it. For some reason I have to do something different in each house so its no longer yellow now. Seeing your pic though makes me wish it were.

Looks great. Nothing like a fresh coat of color.

Dumb hospital.

I love the yellow you chose. It is warm and cheery.
