Labour Day Weekend

Nothing is more fun to do on a long weekend than family Reno's!!

Okay so not really Reno's but close enough.

Owen will be 10 months old in a matter of days and Georgia turns 3 in 17 days! WOW!

We always had in mind to add something to Owen's wall since Georgia had her swirls we found the blue on it's own just a little boring - we were thinking green and then I got to looking at Owen's baptism invitations and remembered how much I LOVE the brown with blue. I also thought we should pick something that he might not hate when he is 16 (not too babyish)

These Chocolate Brown Squares are what we ended up with

We also have been wanting to put doors on the kids rooms but it never seems to get done - I told Nate that Georgia NEEDS a door when she is 3, I am hoping this will help her fall asleep on her own in her OWN bed.

Georgia LOVES RED/PINK - not just red, not just pink but RED/PINK the two always go hand in hand. When we told her that she would be getting a door her first response was "So you can Lock me?" the poor child thinks we want to lock her up, after a lot of reassurance on the Locking Up fear her second response was "Can I have a RED/PINK door?" Well we already had some Pink paint so we used that and of course she helped to paint it. We also found some stamps that we had and decided to let her try those out in this deep shade of purple that we thought would go well with the rest of her Purple/Pink room. She loved it and she was so proud of herself. We decided to get some temporary door knobs so that Georgia could open and close her own door, hoping to relieve her of her Locked In fear.

It reminds me of Boo's Door from Monsters Inc.

So with the kids rooms nearing completion that leaves, MY ROOM, the bathroom (yes; it's still not entirely finished), the hall, the hearth, the entry way, the dining room, the basement and the biggest most expensive project, THE KITCHEN - one day my house will be a castle until then I am trying so hard to use my imagination.I really do LOVE my house - it just needs some redecorating to make it mine - almost there tho!
