It will improve the look greatly once I pull up the teal carpet and take down the blue painter's tape. It looks sort of like a Denver Bronco fan's room at present. Sarah was able to fulfil a life-long dream of helping to paint. I let her put a second coat on the baseboard heater vent.
I think she now realizes that painting, as I have repeatedly tried to warn her, is not quite as much fun as it looks.
I was hoping to only have to buy one gallon of paint, but it looks like I may need a second. Mark still needs to roll the ceiling and I think the walls will need a second coat. *sigh* Maybe by this weekend we can get the trundle bed from my mom's house and start putting her room back together.
I had to laugh because when John came home from school today to the smell of fresh paint he said, 'Oh--I love this smell! It smells like home." Huh. I didn't think I painted that much, but I'm glad it's a comfort smell for him.

Hooray! That does look really bright, but super cute! I laughed at the Broncos comment, though. I'm excited to see the carpet gone! I'm also glad that you don't have to deal with drop cloths; being able to wipe the brush on the carpet is so satisfying sometimes! Love you!
Ha! John's comment is hilarious. I think the color looks darling! Painting is a big job, but oh so satisfying to see that transformation.
Just continue to trust me! That is a tried and true color for a fun bedroom! I got your message about the trim color today, but just couldn't get to it. I'll try to call tomorrow!
And, Linda and I are still waiting for the doughnut recipe---pass it on!
I love John's comment! And I'll work on getting that bronco stallion with the flaring eyes for Sarah's night light.
Did you paint the baseboards too? And are you painting the ceiling the same color? Can't wait to see the final product!
I’ve been married to Denise for 23 years, and consequently brother-in-law to Susan for 23 years. I’m not the brightest guy in the world but I have learned at least one thing in those 23 years: Trust Susan! I admit, however, that I sometimes shake my head and grumble, but I always end up loving the colors.
Dad has a blogger account!!!
I like the color. That's so funny what John said.
I don't know Susan but from every thing I've heard and the how Jessie's house looks I would if I could hand over a blank check and let her have a go at my house doing whatever she wanted.
How fun for Sarah. I never got to paint my room when I was a kid, that would definitely have been a dream come true.
On a sidenote: I did get to cover my walls with Michael Jackson posters though.
1. Mark has a blogger account??
2. I love his comment.
Yes, I'm going to give blogging a try, although it will have a "slightly" different focus. No fashion and paint color discussions. It will probably only be interesting to me, and even that will be a challenge.
And by the way, when painting a room, one MUST paint the ceiling the same color. I believe there's a little more flexibility with the baseboard colors. Again, TRUST SUSAN! (Does that make me a painting snob?)
When we started painting the ceilings many years ago, deep down I may have thought it was just a way to torment me. I'm not a big fan of painting, although Denise is always telling me I'm really good at it. I think by now, though, I have that strategy figured out. :-)
Well........I must admit that I am completely flattered with Mark's trust in my color sense!! Thanks, Mark! Your comments brought a smile to my face for sure!
Denise, I'll be calling with your trim color tomorrow!!!I'll be looking forward to the documentation of the progress.
