We started thinking about painting the play room and could only come up with one good influence:
I know it's silly, but it's a PLAY room! So, silly it is. (Silly and awesome.)
Yeah, that works!! And it looks even more fun when applied to a wall in the play room.
Little green would be proud. This is only phase 1 of 2 though; next up will be a giant posterized photo converted to vinyl line art and applied to the green wall. The subject of the photo will be VTEC powered. I know that doesn't mean anything to some of you, so I'll just say more plainly that it'll be the green mini.
And we didn't stop there! We also got some color for the living room. We were looking for something subtle, just to give the room a little depth. Like maybe you wouldn't notice unless you were looking real hard.
I guess we ended up with something different, but I like it. Those flowers are these cool three dimensional things that Kate found on "the internet." They have tacks on their backs and you just jam them right into the wall. Sweet!
Painting is easy, but one thing that I actually am quite proud of is that I freehanded all the edges for both rooms. No more tape! I learned the hard way that taping edges on crater surfaced plaster doesn't really give you the hard edged look we crave.
This is what Cole's hair did when he saw the green wall:
OH, and last but not least, we finally completed the basement metamorphosis from earth spilling wall hole to luxurious laundry nook. Check it:
We are thrilled that no families of hibernating badgers were displaced during the construction.
I think that's all for now. I'm going to go eat some brownies that Kate made, because it's Monday night.
