Alex's room

So here is the story. Tim and I have been working on redecorating our house... mostly we have just painted some of the walls. But since Alex will be home from his mission in 4 months, we decided to redo his room. He had holes in all of his walls from things like a shelf, and a gun rack (used to hold his roleler blades) and a few pictures and things. A lot of the pictures were put up with push pins. And then there were the holes he made with his blow dart gun and his air soft gun. And the walls hadn't been painted in 14 years. So needless to say the room needed a face lift. I thought we could paint it a nice calm blue but decided that since it was Alex's room, he should have a say in the color. Tim said, "as long as he doesn't pick Orange." Well, we asked Elder Nelson and of course he chose the color Orange. At first he said he wanted it left the way it was, but we decided to do what we could before he was home. Since there is no one living in it, it would be a lot easier to paint and redecorate. So now our dilemma was, do we paint it orange like he wanted or just do what we had origionally planned. Well as you can see, we decided to use the orange color, but with a twist. We like the texture painting and so we decided to paint the bottom half orange (textured) and then the top a nice beige. We are putting a chair rail around the room as a divider between the colors. We like it and hope Alex will too. We will be adding new curtains (probably dark brown), a new fan (probably brown too) and some shelves and an orange bed spread. Let us know what you think...
