We went to the store to pick out paint and I saw a page in an idea book for a retro style room, and the walls were blue. If you remember, a while ago I mentioned wanting to turn my room retro style and so I really liked the idea of blue. So i found a shade I liked. The only problem was, now that it would be Sarah's room too, and now that Sarah was a stubborn six year old, she absolutely hated the blue. she wanted it to be... well, pink. I explained that it was already pink and change was good. :P So we tortured ourselves in the paint department at Home Depot for a long time and finally gave up. We took several paint samples and booklets and then went home. I taped the samples on my wall and went to bed.
In the morning Sarah came in and we narrowed it down. I'd picked out purples, yellows, oranges greens, blues and even a few pinks. The pinks were some of the first to go. Finally Sarah points to the color I had showed her the day before and goes "I think we should paint it this color!" And I could've smacked her. She decided she liked the blue and the pale yellow and left the decision up to me. After thinking about it for a while, I picked the blue. So Monday I cleaned out my room. Tuesday my mom had surgery and later that afternoon we went and got paint. Wednesday we did the painting and I was surprised we finished it in only a day.
This was my room. Sort of. There was more crap on the walls and more stuff spewed everywhere but I didn't think to take a picture BEFORE i started so. This is as close as it gets.
I started moving things around to make room and started taking things down stairs.
stuuuuuuffff
Tuesday I slept on my bed in the middle of my room and it was freaking cold.
Then we started working on the cieling. Those white patches on the wall are places where nails had left holes and we patched them up.
we got a lot of help from Timmy, Sarah and Jacob. My dad showed them how to use the rollers and stuff.
Almost finished! I did the trims (with a short break to watch the Jonas Brothers on American Idol :P) and finished about 9:15 or so.
It was called Nevada Sky :) So I liked the name and the color, lol
Everyone thinks its so fun to run around and yell and make noise now because it echoes.
But we get the bunk bed tonight and eventually we have to figure out HOW THE HECK to fit my huge honkin elephant of a dresser in here again.
I was looking at retro posters. I saw one for gay tooth brushes xD that was pretty awesome, lol. I also found a route 66 one I would love to have. Not to mention several awesome retro band posters of bands I've either never heard of or never heard before x3 The posters were sweet but it might be weird, considering I dont even listen to those bands xD But oh well. Pink Floyd and Queen had some cool posters but I liked some of the other ones too. And Bob Dylan, who for the record, I don't really like. :P I liked the lyrics to the ONE and only song I've heard from him but I don't like his voice t all. He reminded me of a duck being strangled. He was just cute about a million years ago :P He's pretty scary looking now though, I looked him up and it made me sad for a while.
Anyways, my mom pointed out that the bunk bed is going to take up a lot of space and she wanted to get shelves for something, and my freaking dresser is gonna take up like the whole rest of the room. so Im a little nervous. Or a lot. We'll see how it goes. In the mean time I have no idea what to do with my old posters... o.o I had a couple Lord of the Rings posters up and a Jack Sparrow one too. Dont get me wrong, I love Jack and Aragorn and all them buuuut everything else changed you know? And i think it would be totally sweet to have some retro posters up in huuurr :P So yeah.
We'll see.
