Labor Day weekend was spent painting Shelby and Abby's rooms. Of course, what was supposed to be a "weekend" project ended up taking a couple of weeks. Sickness, work, subbing, life in general...all of these conspired to drag the project on for a while.

The finished product with her bedding and poster of dolphins. I also got vinyl wall dots in lime green and brown that I put up--they are really cute!

Shelby knew that she wanted a lime green room (her favorite color). We looked and looked for bedding that would coordinate, but most all the bedding we found either had too much green, not the right green, had pink or was too floral-y (things Shelby is NOT into). So, one day when we were searching online, we came across this black and white bedding, and we both knew it was a hit! She is really into peace signs now, so the pillow sealed the deal. The black and white help to tone down the green, and I think it looks really good. She loves it! (Which is really all that matters!)
I also did some vinyl dots in black and white around her room--in fact, I need to order more for around the vinyl peace sign we got for over her bed. We were really happy with the results!
P.S. Emily also got new bedding for her birthday, but in a pattern that compliments her current room color (lavender). She also got some wall dots put up, but I forgot to get a picture of those--I only did them last week. When she is a bit older, if she wants her room a different color, we'll paint hers. I only want to have to do it once, so we'll wait to see what she likes when she's a bit older. Just didn't want anyone to think she was being left out! :)
