Operation Room Redo: Making Progress

I am almost through with Phase One of the Operation Room Redo. Today I spent painting Spencer's new bathroom (the blue paint shown below). We also moved over his bed and dresser today. I have a few finishing touches to make before I can show the complete room. That probably won't be until after Memorial Day weekend. I want to look for a couple of more things to finish it off. And we are going to Ohio to visit Chris' family on Memorial Day weekend and there just happens to be an Ikea close by. And a Pottery Barn outlet. :-D So I am hoping that I can find him a cheap desk for his room. He has been wanting one for a long time, but I just haven't found what we want.

I did get his new headboard finished. Yea! Because it was a major pain to paint. It took forever! But I must say I am very happy with how it turned out. I got it on clearance and this is what it originally looked like in the pictures below. (Sorry, but I forgot to take my own pictures of it before I painted it, so I had to get these off of the web.)

It was a headboard made for holding scrapbook pages. How cool is that? I thought it was really neat, but of course it won't work like this for Spencer's room. So I transformed it into.....

This!

I really, really like how it came out. Like I stated earlier, it was a complete pain to paint and took forever to get done. I hope to get it up into his room tomorrow and finish painting the bathroom. And then once I get his new room done, I can start on my new scraproom. Yippee!!!


I thought I would add a few pictures of Spencer's first baseball game of the year. This was last Thursday evening. This was suppose to be his third game, but the first two got postponed because of rain.
And I know this picture isn't completely in focus, but I love the look he gave me while he was playing catcher.
And I have to include a picture of Joe Cool here. Did you notice the blue lips? He got those from the lollipop he had during the game.
Thanks again for visiting me!!!

I love the colors you are using in Spencer's bedroom and bathroom. The head board turned out great! I can't wait to see the room when it is all finished! Great job Christie!

Love the headboard!! You did a great job! I need to repaint Ethan's room... we did Spiderman colors, and it's much too dark. Can't wait to see the room all put together.

I love those colors! I am not very good at painting - I wish I was though because paint can sure make a difference! Great job on the headboard! How many coats did you have to do on it? I really really love those colors together!
