Jo's Bedroom

First room in the house to be painted. Yeah!
So for two weeks this became Jo's new bed.
She thought it was great, her own tv, large window and lots of room to spread out!

This was her bedroom set up for those two weeks.
Here she is chilling on her floor.

It's a Family Job!
First was prepping the walls as there were a few cracks.
After Jo was finished Cole puttied.

Basic white for the closet
The easiest part of Jo's room.

The Design?
Jo said, "Mom, I would like pink and purple swirls with butterflies".
With Jo's help this was what we came up with.

Then Jo said, "THIS IS GREAT! Now I want this color to be blue and this one to be light blue and I would like a yellow over here" (what happened to pink and purple?)

Jo sat on the counter at the paint store and looked through many swatches and picked out her paint. (truly no help from us)
The first step, wall colors.

Drawing the curves.
Oma brought home an over head projector that helped us get the designs on the wall.
All done with the curves.
And yes, she picked some pink after all.

Swirl Time
Cole helped with the drawing of the swirls.

Almost done!
Much easier to have Jo paint this low.

BACK TO HER ROOM!
She LOVES her new room.
We added a few shelves and a princess net over her bed.
Jo is the only one in the house that has completely unpacked from our move and has a completed room.

Two weeks, not too bad.
