The New Ocean Room

I am very excited to report that Josh's room is no longer just Josh's room. It is now Josh and Lillie's room. I went to the store on Wednesday night to buy bedding. The ocean-themed quilt at Target that I had been eyeing for Josh was 33% off. And there was a coordinating girl's ocean themed quilt that was also on sale that I hadn't noticed before. It was the perfect coordinating set! I felt so blessed to find exactly what I wanted for such a good deal. Last week I checked out lots of decorating books from the library and looked through them with the kids. Lillie didn't have a strong opinion but Josh really wanted an ocean-themed room with sea-snakes. So while the kids were at my parents house this weekend (which by the way is far more exciting than Disney World as far as Josh and Lillie are concerned), Jason and I painted their walls. The bottom half is a bright sky blue and the top half is a spring green. Once we decide on a new arrangement for furniture I am going to attempt painting a seascape mural on one of the walls. We have a few tasks left to finish off the room- hang curtains, give dresser and bookshelf a fresh coat of paint, buy a new rug, etc. But the big changes that we made this weekend were really fun. The kids love the new room. Yay!! Now baby #3 can have Lillie's old room for awhile!
