Okay, so we've been here in Lehi for almost 4 years and this whole time Brad and Jake have been asking for their room to be decorated like an "ocean". All it took was for me to mention it to Rachel and now it's done! She loves to paint and since Spring Break was the same for both of us, she came over Monday through Thursday and painted with me. She showed me how to "antique" furniture and the kids played while we painted (except for little Jess-he loved to hang out with us and tease his aunt Bobo that she couldn't paint very well;). We went to lunch every day and sometimes got treats as well. Brad got his wish that his Spring Break would be spent with sleepovers almost every night. Now all I need to do is order a net for the curtains, a ship's wheel, and an anchor to put on the walls. Oh yeah, and a couple of comforters. This has been so much fun!! (I forgot to mention the name of the paint color. In Jake's honor, "Ariel's Song" was chosen-so fitting for the boy who has loved mermaids since he was 3 years old!)

That is a very nice color. I think the accents you get will tie it all together. That Rachel doesn't let the grass grow does she? We all need a motivator!!
I want to see a picture with it all put together! I'm so glad you are getting those rooms done!! I wish I was there to help as well. I LOVE this kind of thing! Way to go!
