Chloe and Olivia's Room Redo

A few months ago Chloe, Olivia and I decided that they needed new bedding. It was torn and stained and ready to go!

Of course, if you get new bedding then you need to get new furniture and paint your walls...

Right?

About 7 years ago we spent over a week painting these amazing stripes on their walls. They got these cute bunk beds from Pottery Barn for Kids and bedding from there too!

Above the stripes was a chair-rail molding and green paint. Super fun!

Olivia, friend Olivia is showing that behind her is a desk from Ikea and a big rat cage. The desk was thrashed too and the rat cage wasn't the prettiest thing to see when you walked into the room.

So, we found some super cute bedding at Target and then picked out some paint colors at Home Depot. Next Dad pulled out all the furniture from the walls and sanded everything down. While we were hiking the Superstitions, he painted a first coat of black paint on all the furniture!

Chloe and Olivia both helped roll on the first layers of paint on the walls. Chloe helped paint the dresser and Rustin helped paint the pink above the chair-rail molding.

This is one hard working man!

Bye-bye stripes!

Thanks little helpers!

What a team we are! I put on the second coat of black on the furniture while Russ did the cutting of the wall paint. 

Still a little cutting along the top of the pink to do, but getting closer!

All DONE!!!

See their mix and matched pink and turquoise bedding? We tied in black and whites too.

We kept the drawers from their desk and their lamp.

Chloe and I made some black and white throw pillows to jazz up the beds a little

Olivia's top bunk with her bear named "Trevor"

How strange that there is also a boy named Trevor in her school class! Hmmm....

At the foot of the beds is their dresser, all new and freshly painted. The rat cage looks much better there and I made a cloth for the top of the dresser.

Some other decrations that still work GREAT!

The darling curtains I made and ran ribbon along the bottom to tie in all the colors!

Tied with sheer aqua ribbons.

Last but not least, the cool hammock chair that inspired them to get rid of their desk and really get this room moving. It was a gift to both of the girls from Grandma Crawford! Thanks- they love it!

That is Olivia with her friend Kaitlyn behind her.

Oh ya. One more thing! Chloe made this amazing purse from scratch! She picked out all the fabrics, cut the squares, sewed them together, lined it and the inside, sewed in custom sized pockets to fit all her accessories and a book and then put the handles on and put it all together! 

Is she amazing or what?????
