Avery's New Room

It's taking longer than we planned, but slowly but surely we're getting ready for our big move out to "the property." We bought a used double-wide mobile home, and are fixing it up to live in while we sell our house in town, and get ready to start building the new house on our 4-acre horse pasture.

The mobile home was painted like a pastel Easter egg when we bought it, so we had the drywall repaired, and the entire 1450 square feet painted with recycled paint (from Metro) in the shade of "Sand Dune." But part of the deal of moving was letting Avery paint and decorate her new room. After many months of consideration, and a couple weeks of agonizing, she finally picked these colors for her room.

Today she and her BFF Kate got to paint. They didn't quite finish, but they had fun for awhile, and I finished up all the edges, details, and the cubbies. I think it looks pretty cool! It's going to be strange, though, having just one room with any color in the entire house. Makes me want to go buy paint for the boys' room, too!

Here we go! Avery decided to paint the blue walls.

Kate took the green walls.

The built-in cubbies.

First coat all done!
