Green Apples and Red Cherries.....

Is what I think about when I look in the girl's NEW playroom!!!!!

I found a picture a few months ago of a playroom I loved....it was the inspiration of our new playroom!

I really loved the colors and just thought it was so cute and looked like so much fun! 
Sooooo.........with a clean slate...and bare walls...

We have turned it into a fun place for my girls to play!  (The wall color is brighter in person, but not as bright as the pictures above thanks to the trim color we picked.)

Carpet is from Home Depot -- Pebble Beach by Mohawk.  I really like it b/c it has specks of color in it!
Paint Color is Dancing Green by Sherwin Williams and trim is China White by Sherwin Williams.
Storage shelves are from Target (which were on sale this weekend-- SCORE!) and so are the red and green bins!
Wall Art is by eeBoo.  We have the "All Around the Land" ones!  They are soooo cute!   We hung them with very small nails, and it was fairly painless!

Still looking for curtains, other wall decor and a chalkboard!    But it's all ready for Santa to come and bring us more toys!!!!   

I am very happy with how the room turned out......and

Sunday Funday.....a day late! Whoops!

On Saturday, Joe and I dropped the girls off at my parents and went to do some house stuff!  It's so much easier to do it without them!

Our first stop was to GPS to pay our balance on the cabinets, pick up our sinks for the kitchen and the butler's pantry and pick out all the faucets for the 2 rooms.    We went with ELKAY for both.  Here is the one we got for the kitchen:

Undermount, Stainless, 29.5" wide and 10" deep.

And this one for the butler's pantry:

Undermount, stainless, 22.5" wide and 7.5" deep

We picked out our faucets too...but I don't remember what we picked!  :o)
Next up was to Sleepys to get our new mattress for our bed!  

We decided on a SUPER comfy Sealy Posturepedic Pillow Top!  As soon as I laid down.....it was love at first touch!   I tried a few others....but I knew which one I wanted...and we were out of there within 20 minutes!  The mattress and box springs are getting delivered on Dec. 3rd!   I can't wait to sleep in it! 

Finally...we headed to Home Depot for ceiling fans..and just to look at knobs for our cabinets.   We left with 2 fans...one for our new room and one for the playroom....we also had a new pull for the playroom one!  :)

For our bedroom we went with a Hampton Bay Langston 60" in oil rubbed bronze! 

And in the playroom we went with a white one and the brand is escaping me right now!  Once it's up I will take some pictures!

And that was our Sunday Funday!   YAY!

COLOR! COLOR! COLOR!

I wanted to create one more entry before I went to bed....

We had the painter here while John was away...he started out staining the side door.  We went with Wild Berry from Sherwin Williams. 

A few days later.......the painting began!!!!
I was so nervous to see the actual colors we chose on the wall!  And went back and forth so many times....but we finally decided on the painting began!

Day 1 -- Ceilings and Closets were painted white!
Day 2 -- All the walls were primed with color.....and everything turned out BEAUTIFUL!  I am so happy with what we decided on!!!!
Here is the kitchen!  Sherwin Williams **ARTICHOKE**

The Mudroom and Butler's Pantry are **CLARY SAGE**

First Floor Bathroom **SANDS OF TIME**

Hallways (Upstairs and Down) **KILIM BEIGE**

Master Bedroom **MEDITATIVE**

Master Bath **SLEEPY BLUE**

Master Closet **MOUNTAIN AIR**

Playroom **DANCING GREEN**

And that's what we've done so far!  1st coat is up and one more is needed!  I am so happy with it all!

We also had the electrician here and they put the exhaust fans in the bathrooms, and did a bunch of other stuff!  And the gutter guys came and did all the gutters!

So even though John was away....the work didn't stop!
