It took two days...

...to turn a baby blue room into a yellow sports room! The renovation is not completely done yet. I'll upload new pictures in the next couple of days, when all the missing stuff will arrive (yes, there is going to be more). Luckily, TJ loves his big boy room, which you can see on the following video. He went to the shore this weekend and I took the chance to paint the room with my friend Anja while he was canoeing (he fell in the water and got rescued by Pops). I hope I can get pictures from that event. 


After taking all the furniture out of the room and taping windows, doors and ceiling, we got started. Bob the Builder and me. We were on a mission!

Well, first we enjoyed having so much space in the little room and trained our jumping skills! Thumbs up, T-Man! 

Off he goes - check out his facial expressions, it says everything! Life is good when you got an unused mattress.



Then we covered the carpet with old sheets (we got really into this renovation thing).
After a while, TJ got tired and a big boy like him needs a nap in a big boys bed, of course. So Mommy and Daddy's bed seemed big enough. On the next picture I told TJ to close his eyes and to pretend to sleep - he tried, but he couldn't get the smile out of his face. 

"I think I like having my nap here."
My equipment.
After his nap, Tj, I mean Bob, helped me putting the primer on the wall. He had no idea how cool it would be in the end.


First day of renovation was over and my pants were ruined, but it was worth it!

Oh and I still got some paint on my fingers.

Thumbs up for the yellow TJ!
Sometimes you have to have a little fun, even if that what you are doing is not fun at all. 


After some hours and a second coat of yellow and a little more white on the ceiling, we were done! Yeehaw! The following pictures were taken before I put all the books, clothes and toys back in the room. There is still decoration missing which I ordered online and I have to put the picture frames up on the wall. So I'm going to do a panorama video next week!

Lisa B, you are one fantastic decorator. Sorry about your pants, but the finished product looks great. We love the champion and other decals on the walls and window frame. Cool! Thanks so much for taking up an entire weekend to do that.
