the "Playroom" project

I got a crazy idea to paint the playroom

So after searching for ideas

I finally came up with a plan.....

I

We set up a supplies table in the hall

and then began.

1st...paint the walls....and ceiling

(I started then, gratefully, Steve took over)

While he was painting blue....

I started painting green....

This was all my paints....I covered each little

cup filled with different colors of paint with

another, slightly larger cup and

the paint stayed good for several days

it was a good system!

After the "Sky" and "Grass" was dry 

I began working on the

Circus Tent

I made a window valance to match the 

circus tent canopy.

Next was the task of outlining....

it was just like a giant coloring book!

Then I started painting....

and painting....

and painting....

(this is why every time any of you called I

was always "painting")

and painting....

and painting...

The walls began to come alive and that motivated

me to keep right on painting

The last, finishing touch was hanging pictures

of all the grand kids

(and a few "surprise" pictures)

Then, after 10 days....it was done!!!

The Circus Tent....

The Train, Dinosaur and the "Boys" Balloons

The "Playroom Express" is filled with Monkeys 

and other animals

This smiling Sunshine helps 

brighten up the room

The "Girls" Balloons floating high above

the garden fence and kitty

High up on his perch sits this little owl.

(He will keep an eye on the kids)

and last, but not least,

the newly painted night stand

I have never done anything like this before.

It was a big undertaking....but I had fun,

and I hope the grand kids will like it!

and one last note...

Thank you Steve for supporting me when I come up

with these crazy ideas....no matter what,

you always pitch in and help me get the job done.
