Ellie's and Elijah's Room

So when we moved into this house back in 2009 this was Liam's room that was already painted light blue and light yellow.  We left it and he continued to have this room until we knew of the arrival of our 4th child. (take note to the picture leaning against the wall on the floor..its blue and it had pictures of a horse and bear on it)

Before our 4th child arrived, we painted the room a neutral tan color and figured whatever the sex of the baby would determine the additional color we would add to this room. (yes I expected a boy and yes thats a blue sheet on the crib mattress).

At last,  we got our baby girl and so pink was quickly painted onto the walls:).  The next several pictures are of Ellie's room as it is today.  Im not sure what else, if anything, will be added yet.  Im pretty satisfied with it. (I did my very first DIY project and its that picture that was in the above photo with blue on it, that now sits in Ellie's room....its pink and now has flowers on it).


 These are just close ups, so it can be seen a bit better.
 Of course Elijah was very ready to move over to his very own room.  I had previously painted this gray and orange as the guest room.  I told Elijah he could have his own room, IF I didn't have to repaint it(since I loved the colors of it).  He gladly agree'd and made it his very own Basketball themed room.  It has turned out very nicely and he has made his bed everyday since!!:)  I was so thrilled to find this comforter that had gray and orange in it.  Very boyish looking for sure.
Now that we have everyone settled into their rooms, we are hopefully set for many years to come.
