Beautiful Clean Bedrooms


After days of cleaning the basement I moved on to the kid's bedrooms. Gary worked so hard painting and trimming their rooms and I finally helped them get all of their stuff organized. They were all really good sports about the whole ordeal and I think they look so nice I had to blog so you could all see how cool their rooms are!

Alyssa and I were very proud of ourselves for mounting her mirror on her dresser yesterday. Now we don't have to have a heart attack that it is going to fall and break any given second!

I don't know which was tougher--mounting the mirror or putting together the clip lamp my mom got Alyssa for Christmas. Both were worth the effort! She stayed up most of the night reading in her little spot.

Brady loves his walk in closet but none of you are allowed to see in it. Rest assured--it is as clean as the rest of his room.
Mom, the curtains are so perfect (I don't know how well you can see them in this picture)! Thank you. I am going to go get more rods and etc. next week so I can do Brandon and Alyssa/Lexie's rooms.


The black bean bag is a sad imposter of the black Luv Sac that Brandon had asked Santa to bring him for Christmas. Hopefully it will grow and gain some Denver Bronco detailing by the time his birthday arrives in April.
We ran out of wood, time and money before Brandon's trim was hung. He likes the funky line and wants us to leave it. When it is warm enough to stain in the garage again I am afraid that the wood will be hung.
Brandon spent one whole afternoon of Christmas break putting together my new coffee table. I was so excited. It is so nice to have such a handy son! Now I want more put it together yourself furniture!
Thanks Brandon.
You can see from the coffee table pictures that my family room looks like a bomb exploded in it. After the basement and bedroom projects I am now ready to put away Christmas stuff. Lexie is really sad. She wanted to leave the tree up until after her birthday on Jan. 19th. Originally I agreed but then I got bit by the cleaning bug. We took a lot of pictures of her by the tree and she is choosing which one we will print as an 8 x 10 to frame for her friends to see at her party. Here is the one that I like best so far.

I forgot I could comment these when I looked at them... The post in December about the snow had me rolling I was laughing so hard. That shouldn't even classify as snow! And I love seeing all of the pictures you attach to your posts... You said that Alyssa likes to text a lot, what cell phone company do you guys have? I have verizon and if it isn't going to cost you guys a fortune (my texting is unlimited) it would be awesome to be able to keep in touch with her too! I love Lexie's glasses by the way, they look adorable on her face! It looks like all of you are having a blast, just don't forget about us little people still here in Wyoming! I love you guys!!!

Thanks for the link to your blog! It was fun to read and to see the bedrooms. We painted our kids bedrooms over the holidays, too!
