Gone Country

Since last Thursday, I have been redecorating my kids room. Elena, Ricky & Brandon wanted to trade rooms, which translates to disastrous tornado!

After the country theme Ricky and Bran decided on three years ago, and hunting for a boot clock, a western lamp shade, denim curtains, spur book ends, a lasso, a sheriffs badge, a Texas rug, chaps among other items, it's all put away in a box to go up in the attic.

Then the fun began of removing wallpaper. It TOTALLY kicked hiney!!! When I put it on, I intended for it to never come off. I will NEVER wallpaper again! Elena said it was a phase when I was wallpaper happy.

I didn't tell Scott of my plans. (My Mom says that's the way to do it.)He came home and said, "You are your mother's daughter!" Every time you go to my parents home the furniture is rearranged. OMG!! I'm turning in to my MOTHER!!! That means the fires will soon start!!!!

My Dad is afraid of fires. Once my Mother wanted new living room furniture so she set the furniture on fire while my Dad was at work. Outcome: She got new furniture! Now, she gets whatever, whenever.

This really is wallpaper made to look like a fence. I was asked all the time if it was the real deal.

Took me a while to find this.

My handy son disassembling the bed and Elena helping.

This really is a Kodak moment.

I didn't ask Scott for help because I had Ricky. He's an 11 yr old trapped in an adult body. I don't know where he learned how to be a handy man.



NOTE: I haven't finished the transformation but be assured I will post pics when I am finished with my project(s).
