Me and Mom's new art studio!

We just got this wonderful L shaped desk! We found it in someone's trash and Mom couldn't pass it up. I didn't know how cool it was till we got it home! Now my art/ craft stuff wont have to be cramped into a drawer anymore! I think my favorite part is the little rotating pencil holder thingy, which is now my brush holder :)

It's got enough room for all the stuff that used to be in my drawer, and even room for hammy! LOL
Thanks Mom!

(p.s. plus there's a preview of my latest project, octopus in acrylics. No where near done mind you ;) I like oil paint more, but don't have the right brushes or a canvas on hand, and wasn't quite in the mood for water color even though I love those too.)

Finished room :)

Well, we actually got done with the painting on Thursday, and finished putting in things in Friday. I haven't had much time, because our Niece and Nephew are staying for about a month. Anyways, here are the pictures. I am uploading this from my iPod, so I will have to just give the captions in order.

Picture one: the shelf in between the bunk beds, so that everyone has a place to put things like flashlights or iPods.

Picture two: our chalkboard closet doors. A long time ago, we painted the closet boards with chalkboard paint, so now we can doodle on them. Here we have Scooby doo and Peter rabbit, both of which I drew because my nephew likes Scooby doo, and my Niece likes Peter rabbit.

Picture three: Hammy taking a nap in one of the beds

Picture four: Bunk bed one.
Picture five: Bunk bed two.

Picture six: our everyone has a "wall pocket" to put things like books in.

Picture seven: view of the inside of the shelves from bunk bed two.
Picture eight: our two curtains that act as doors. I can't remember if we took the door down due to slamming, or it was broken, or both, but now we have curtains and a gate there.

Picture nine: chalk board closet door.

Picture ten: our cool curtain rods that open up. It a lot less hassle to open the rod than it is the try to scootch
The curtains over. And probably less risk of breaking down the Ross by accident.

Picture eleven: chalkboard closet doors.

Well, I think some of the pictures do a pretty good job of telling the colors. A light purple and a bubble gum pink.

Painting our bedroom!

Well, we are *finally* painting our bedroom! At the bottom is a picture of the before print. The white spot is were we had to fill in a small hole. It hasn't been re-painted for…… probably 8 years at least……Now we will have two walls pink, and two walls purple! Will post an after picture when it is done.
