So this month I am REALLY late on posting the monthly baby picture. But with the holidays and everything going on, we've been a little busy. Kierstyn has advanced SO much since 5 months and now has 2 teeth, is sitting up most of the day, and started eating cereal - rice and oatmeal. We've been trying stage 1 foods but that's not going so well. Oh well, maybe next month :)
Earlier this month, I was looking for something to do and thought, hey, why not flip the guest room and Kierstyn's room? The queen bed in the guest room seemed cramped ever since we switched rooms and set up the nursery in the bigger room. So to the paint store I went and after HOURS of deliberation (and you know this if you know me!), I picked out the perfect icy pink...or so I thought. I was painting over a deep gold color, loved it but I liked the brown room more and I didn't want 2 rooms the same color, ya know! As soon as I finished the 3rd coat, it was looking quite lavander to me so out to ACE I went, and again, after about an hour in the store, I picked out yet another pink. I went against the opinion of the paint guy, stuck to my gut, and used the lightest color on a scheme with a rusty barn red at the bottom. After all, that is the color of my dining room and kitchen so I wanted to stick to the same scheme. It turned out great!!! Then I thought it looked a bit plain in there and wanted to spruce it up. I looked at decals, but came to the conclusion those suckers are kind of expensive, I can do this myself! I found the perfect sillouhette, added some personal touches in photoshop elements, printed that puppy out on a transparency and borrowed a neighbors overhead projector from their church. Just outlined it with a pencil and slapped a couple of layers of paint on. Easy Schmeezy :)
