In keeping with my "do it now" or it never gets done attitude, I decided to whip out a can of spray paint last night around 8:00 p.m. I immediately start clearing everything off my daughter's bookshelf and carry it down the stairs all by myself. I run into my husband on the way outside (with the bookshelf in tow) and he says "You're not going to do that right now, are you?" Using a phrase borrowed from my dear friend, Mary Claire, I reply, "Do you know me at all?" With that out of the way, I proceed to start spray painting the shelf.
Here is was before I got a hold of it.
I bought this at Homegood's a few years ago for about $50. My daughter didn't really have anywhere to store her
Here it is in all it's blue spray painted glory.
After painting the walls with Sherwin William's White Duck, her room needed some punches of color. The green bench from this post helped liven up the space a bit, but it was still lacking some personality.
I've been tackling little projects everyday in her room so a full reveal is coming, but it I'll be sure to keep you posted on the progress as I go.
Oh, and just for the record, I am one of those crazy moms who cleans my kids' rooms. I am not a fan of clutter so I make sure to weed out the junk often. With the exception of a few things underneath her bed, this is about all the clutter in her room. I know, I have a problem. The first step is admitting it, right? After that, I'm not quite sure what to do about it.
What about you, do you have a say in what goes in your kids' room or do you give them complete freedom to do whatever they want with their space?
