Taryne's Room...

Originally posted July 3, 2009

A week ago, we started working on Taryne's room. We painted the room a beautiful green color to go with the elephant bedding set we have picked out. We chose elephants partly because we like the pattern and partly becuase elephants are one of the many symbols of Texas A&M. This way, we have an "Aggie" room for her but it is not maroon and white.

Elephant Bedding:

Kyle's parents were here a week ago and they helped us get the room painted green.

This weekend, we have been working on adding stripes to the walls....we used the same color, just a different sheen.

We taped off the stripes for the room...

We painted the stripes....

Here is what the room looks like after we removed most of the tape...

And here are a few photos of the room. We still have a few things we want to do, but we are waiting for the furniture for those things.

In addition to the paint, we replaced all the switches and outlets (child proof outlets that do not require the little snap in plug cover....thank goodness Kyle is an electrician....), installed a new ceiling fan/light and window film to reduce the amount of heat that comes into the room.

We were very thankful to have a 3 day weekend so we could have this project finished! Now it is time to move on to the next mini project before Taryne arrives....

Until next time...Gig'em!
