Kids' room make-over

'What I've been up to' Update #2
My second attempt to let you know what I've been up to the last several months since I've not been blogging much!
I finally finished my daughter's room!
The poor girl had to wait forever for me to finish because I kept getting bored and getting into other projects. Finally, however, I did finish :) Here's how it turned out!

BEFORE:

AFTER!!
Giant flowers towering over her head on the walls
Her bed cave with some of mommy's artwork. I may still hang a white bed canopy here, but that will be for another day. (I wish it would stay this clean!)
Photo collage to gradually add to and grow - it already has grown since taking this picture!
Elli decided that she needed to 'help' me every time that I went in to paint her room. So I assigned her to one flower. She did, however, paint on her own and strayed to other parts of the wall and on top of the flowers I already painted - but that was soon fixed and she decided not to do that again. :) I kept it in her flower garden and hope it's not painted over a stud, because I want to cut it out and frame it! She used every color that I used on her wall and did pretty well, I think.
I added embellishments here and there that stick off the wall - butterflies, flower centers, etc.
She's pretty content in here :)
He's not so much.

Aww! I love the flowers - you are so artsy and gifted, hun! I can't wait to get a house one day to be able to be 'creative' in. :) Love it! :)

Superb! Now waiting, along with Levi, to see what you're going to do with his room!
