Mad Painting Skills

So i know i haven't update my blog in a very long time. I have been so busy moving twice in the last few months but this is some of what i have been doing. We painted my nephew Alex's room in the old house just before i moved in there. This was a very long Process. We did a Jungle them for him since he loves animals so much. These stripes took for ever to do but I like to think I got my natural painting skills from my mom and my grandma. So we did 3 walls solid green and the third wall was striped and we painted all the furniture in his room black (the stripes are brown green and white). I think that with all the hard work it turned out very well.

Now since we all had to move we decided that we were also going to paint his new room so that he had an easier transition the only thing we changed was the wall we painted the stripes on. The lines are a little crooked because we didn't have as much time to spend on it. But in this pic u get to see the good half of the room :-P and the best part is our old land lord loved the room how we did it and didn't make us paint it back white... what a fun time that would have been.
We also painted Kiera and Matt's room and this is how it turned out. The room is twice the size of Alex's and took less time to paint (by about two days lol) But i guess that's was all the stripes fault.
Me and K decided that we were actually going to paint one of the rooms gray because we wanted to do that at the old house but could figure out which room to do. So at this house we found the perfect place to do it. And this was double the size of K's room and took me and her the least amount of time to paint. It felt as if we had not even picked up a paint brush... Ok well that's because we didn't. Matt wanted it done before we moved in and he stayed up almost three straight days and got it all painted the weekend before we moved in. A huge thanks to Matt or we still wouldn't have our gray room.
So I hope Steph is happy i finally put up the pics even though she has seen it all. Soon i will get some pics up of the rooms as they are put together completely.
