Finally I think we are done... with these rooms

They could use a bit of embellishments, but other than that... I think we are done! Whew....

Oh and a side note about Alex's room... When he saw the pictures of his room and saw that it was orange.. he said, "I was just kidding about it being ORANGE." Oh I wanted to punch him... but really we are glad that we had to use a color we weren't comfortable with... It caused us to think outside our comfort zone... and I think we did OK with it. Hopefully he will like it... if not... oh well, next time he won't joke about it... or we won't take him seriously.





























The wall is not as yellow as it looks, it is more like the ones above. Lighter, almost pastel, but definitely yellow.

Newest Home Improvement at the Nelson's

We added a shelf to Alex's room. I had planned on putting up shelves on the wall, but after all the work we put into patching all the holes in the walls, we decided a nice stand up shelf would be better. It doesn't have much on it now, but at least Alex will have some where to put some of his stuff when he gets home.

The other pictures are of the kids bathroom. The colors didn't come out looking that great. They are yellow. A nice soft yellow. The pictures look more bright and more greenish. But at least you get the idea. The lighter wall is textured because the original color I picked out was too light for Tim's taste, so we got a little darker color and rolled it with a texture roller over the top. It is much nicer now.... at least we think so. We are also putting that peel sand stick linoleum over the old stuff. We did it in our master bath and the original linoleum is so horrible that anything is better than it was. The peel and stick is quick and easy and looks tons better.

.... next is Marley's room and the floors in the front and TV rooms...... hopefully.....
