Shnookie2 had the audacity to imply that I wouldn't be so slow if I weren't so picky about every little detail. I'm ashamed to even say it, but she actually said, "Everything doesn't have to be perfect, Mom." I gasped and retorted, "I don't even know you anymore!" Sigh. Where did I go wrong?
Okay, so now I'm ready to show a picture of the latest project, and I'm regretting ranting on about perfection. Talk about building up expectations! So take the picture you've created in your mind and scale it back several (5 or 20) notches. Maybe then you won't be so underwhelmed at the final product, lol!
This is Shnookie1's old room, which is now Shnookie3's new room. It was a total boy room...

We're still working on the details (rug, art, etc.), but at least she's in and loving it! And I'm exhausted. And Shnookie4 is breathing down my neck for her room to be done. Even Vern Yip couldn't work under these conditions!

Can I be your child? Seriously! I am so jealous.
Wow! I'm loving the final look there! (no need to notch down my expectations...but maybe that just made me love it more, you sneaky girl!) I'll be flying you out here to help me transform the room of scary pinkness that my boys inherited from the previous owners into something they can all love.
Love it, great job my dear.....maybe someday I'll have a girl so I can do a room like that too. Right now, the most I get to stretch my artistic abilities is Lightning McQueen and Thomas the Train. We've still got some growing up to do obviously. Enjoy girls and let your mom breathe between projects at least. :) You know you love it though....
are those actually MIRRORS serving as a chair railing? OhMiWord - creative, darling. Absolutely creative! Somebody has been watching a bit of Splash of Color, huh? ;)
Cute cute CUTE room - wanna come do mine next (on JBs payroll, of course)?
The room looks great! What a lucky gir.
Amazing!! I love the stripes and that fab chandalier (sp?). It does look like a lot of work, good luck on the next one.
Fabulous! It's perfect! See, nagging and being uptight IS worth it!
nat!
All I can say is that my girls are never reading your blog. They'd kill to get a room like the before picture.
Sigh.
