Well, we aren’t really going green but our walls sure are. We are planning on painting our room a light green with cream/beige trim. That’s if we ever get around to actually going out and getting the paint. We have been wanting to redo our room for a long time now and we are finally going to be able to do. I’m so sick of looking at this room. It’s Barney colors and I’m not really sure why anyone would want it that way. It’s hideous. Anyways, we are redoing all of the walls, the floor, the ceiling, the molding and of course painting. We are also planning on buy a few new pieces of furniture. I say a few but it’s more like every single thing in our room will be new. Two desks, a TV stand, bed frames(possibly a new bed entirely), bed side tables and one or two new small book shelves. It’s going to cost a pretty penny but it really needs to get done. I’m so ready to rip this ugly ass green shag carpet up. I’m ready for some pretty wood floors. Hopefully we will be going to Lowe’s sometime this week to get everything that we need. We really need to get started soon though since we will be starting work in about two weeks. Once we start work we won’t be able to do a darn thing until work ends. I don’t know if I can wait much longer even though I’ve waited this long to do it. I think with three possibly four people doing this room we can get it done pretty quickly. One thing we haven’t figured out yet is where we will be sleeping and where all of our crap is going while all of this is going on.

That sounds really nice! It’ll be a lot of work but it’s going to be so worth it in the end. It’s such a great feeling to have things cleaned up and nice and new.

I am doing my room at the moment, and I am so frsutrated, that everything takes time. I have no patience, and no carpet on the floor which is so annoying. I have the walls and everything done, so I just need to buy furniture, and carpet, which is harder than it seems. Anyway, I hope that everything goes well, and that you are happy when it’s finished, it sounds like it will turn out well.

Those sound like fabulous colors to put together and is sure to make your room feel cozy, warm and more like home. Barney colors, like the creepy dinosaur?! That is insane, no one should have to look at those colors every day.

So did your walls become green yet? I really love pale, subdued shades of green. Like the greens used in Target’s Classic Pooh line, lol. I tried to pick a shade like that Ryan’s bedroom, but failed horribly. Instead of a pretty, cool muted green, we had this nasty minty avocado green. It was BAD, heh.

Your room sounds like it’ll look great when it’s completed!
