The Boy's Room Grows Up

When we first moved into our house, the boys’ room had jungle-style wallpaper on the bottom part of their wall. There was a chair rail, and white walls above. We had lots of fun with the wallpaper when we were younger. We could play with our stuffed animals and pretend they were in a forest.

But, the boys grew up, as everyone does. They had sports comforters on their beds, and really wanted to change the theme of their room to match the sports. They worked hard on stripping all the wallpaper, cleaning the walls, prepping it for paint, and finally painting it Easter weekend.

The walls look so naked without anything on them!

This was the wall after one coat of blue paint.

And this was the final color!

They really like having a more “grown up” room now! They are hoping to freshen up the white paint on another weekend. In the meanwhile, they are enjoying the new look. J
