Hannah’s New Room

I’ve been extremely conflicted today about what I should post.  Should I post the so awesome it’s beyond awesome video for The Ballad of G.I. Joe or should I do something more family related since this, as the website name would imply, a family blog.  After much deliberation, I’ve decided to tell everyone about Hannah’s new bedroom.  For those who really wanted to know what the Joes do after hours, visit my other site, Stolen Droids, to check out the coolest thing you’ll see today.

Last week we were at Home Depot returning a few things that didn’t get used in our various summer projects.  While we were there, Holly decided that she wanted to check out paint samples because we’ve been talking about painting the inside of the house.  Because Hannah’s new bunk bed has been taking up space in the garage, we determined that her room would be the first to get a makeover.  After checking out a few samples, it was decided that Hannah would get pink and purple walls with a Disney Princesses wallpaper border.  She was so excited that she couldn’t hardly wait for it to be done.  (When I say she, I could be referring to either Holly or Hannah.  I’m not sure who was more excited.)

On Friday Holly started painting the room.  She got about half-way through before opting to work in the yard when I got home from work.  The next day, I painted the other half and we hung the wallpaper.  Because this was my first experience hanging wallpaper without the help of my mom, I kept expecting it to fall down sometime during the night but it’s still there.  (For a closeup of what the wallpaper looks like, click here.)

While the room isn’t something that I would choose for myself, it’s perfect for a little girl that likes to think that she’s a princess.  Hannah has had no trouble going to bed in her new room and all of the kids love the fact that there is now a “top bunk” in our home.  One room down, the rest of the upstairs to go…
