Our New Upstairs!!

We got the floors upstairs redone after Drew's fiasco with the bathroom sink. (If you haven't heard this story, it involved lots of water). This floor is so cool! It looks like hardwood, but it's really linoleum. Really easy to take care of, and looks great. Anyways, I've been promising the girls that I would help them redo their room and paint it after the carpet was done, so we decided to paint all the rooms while we were at it. Here are the final results: :)


The girls room (this is the left wall when you walk into their room). There are letters on the bookcase that spell out DREAM. Can you see the birdhouses and butterflies hanging from the ceiling? : )

Here's the wall I painted the tree on. This was a special request from the girls.




Their bunk bed. Beside each one's bed is their name and their silhouette.





Here's the wall opposite their bed. It's hard to see in the pic, but there is a "flock" (?) of white butterflies going up the wall behind the dresser. Those butterflies were so cool and easy to put up. $20 from Target for 20 butterflies!! : )






Here's their messy dresser - still my favorite antique purchase ever! $100!! This thing must weigh 1500 pounds!! : ) (there are two more drawers not even in the pic)



I haven't finished Drew's room yet, but here's what it looks like so far. He's very proud of his "green room".







And here is the yellow for the playroom. I LOVE this yellow - it is called "Applesauce" by Behr.




And of course, Alyssa has to have a place for all her American Girl stuff. Because we all know that Kit has to have HER own room, right? Sigh... This is out on the landing outside the girls' room.

Oh and by the way, a group of butterflies is called a "flutter". :)
