Favorite painting projects

Moving so much has had a few benefits. One, we haven't had time to accumulate a ton of junk. Two, everything gets a thorough cleaning fairly frequently. And three, I have gotten to paint a lot of fun rooms! After I finished my herringbone wall (here) I stood back and declared it my favorite wall I had ever painted but then I got to thinking about all the other rooms I have painted and now I am not sure if I can choose a favorite!

So here's a look back at my favorite painting projects!

First was L's farm room. This was such a fun project, though I can't take all the credit. My sister-in-law did the hard part of drawing the design from a Little People coloring book. I then bought a several quarts of 'mis-tint' or 'oops' paint from the Home Depot and Lowes. They were of course all awkward and ugly colors so I mixed them until I got the colors I wanted and over the course of 3 weeks painted it in between taking care of a newborn.

 

 

 

The other room I did in that house was E's square pattern room. My mom helped me with that one and I love the way it turned out. I am actually considering doing a variation of it again when I get to their ( #1 and #2 share a room now) room in this house!

I can't seem to find a picture right now :(

 

 

 

My other favorite room was A and B's room. A boy/girl nursery can be difficult but once I decided on colors (THAT took a while) it came together nicely. It looks like the only pictures I can find of this one are before it was finished (with no carpet!) and a snapshot with all of their new Christmas toys, but you get the idea.
