The holes were filled, the walls were
primed and the paint process began.

In my daughter's room we decided
to keep the fireplace mantle white and
paint over the pink tles with taupe. The
theme of the room was to be a garden
with birdhouses. Green, Taupe and
white work wonderfully in unison to
achieve this effect. The: ceilings and all
window ims were painted antique
white to complement the green walls.
As a final touch we placed some pickets
in front of the fireplace to act as a faux
screen, Carpet was laid and a new ceil-
ing light fixture was installed.

In the planning process are some
drapes and a curtain to close off the
closet area.

My son’s room faces west with one
window positioned very close to the
ground. We found that the angled roof
hnes added a lor of character to the
room’s design and made for some
interesting decorating options. The
green paint worked in this room due to
the position of the windows.

Fortunately, a significant amount of
natural light makes its way into the
room off-setting the sage green paint
and giving the room a very comfortable
and bright feel. The ceiling and win-
dow trims were painted white and new
carpet was laid.

All in all it was a fairly easy cosmetic
renovation for these two rooms. ’m
sure over time they will become bored
with the rooms and we’ll have to
change them. Hopefilly that won’t be
for a while.

See you in two weeks.

blue paint and teddy
