a paint job

Apparently I never took pictures of Katelyn's room before we just painted it. But here in the background you can see a little what it looked like: blue with a red stripe and Thomas the Train wallpaper which was coming off. Very fun, but very BOY. Now, we all know that Katelyn loves boy stuff, but lately she's been saying her favorite colors are pink and orange, so we wanted to give her the chance to change her room up a little.

So she and Eric went to the store to pick out paint and came back with this: (and yes, those are corkboards covered in fabric on the wall. I LOVE them, until Katelyn started wanting to actually stick things on them, then they're not quite as cute. OH well. )
okay i didn't make sure to use the flash, but you get the idea of the curtains I made- pink, orange and green stripes.
when we first started painting I was like "WOW, this is fluorescent green!" But it turned out good. And Katelyn loves it. Very exciting!
