Luke has been bugging me for about a year to paint his room. Apparently, the sailboats that I stenciled on his wall before he was born were getting way to "babyish" for him. Luke said he was tired of having a baby's room and the blue walls were not his favorite color.
So, after much debate, it was decided we would go green (haha). We chose the 2 greens he wanted, one for the top and one for the bottom, and got to work. It really didn't take long, in fact I think I painted it in a day. It is just getting over the idea of having to tape the entire room. I really hate that part! Then, after looking at the finished room for 2 days, I decided I truly hated the bottom color. Off to Lowes, and after another hour staring at paint samples, I came up with an oatmealy (yes, I know it is not a word) sort of color for the bottom. Whew, it worked! The finished results turned out great. Now, I just have to buy the military wall art/stickers to put up and it will be done. We will officially have a "big boy" room in our house.

After!
Yeah! Luke has the best Mom ever. I'm sure that is what Luke is smiling about I am positive it has nothing to do with the new paint or getting rid of the sailboats.
