Where my Football and Crowns live!!

So, finally we are almost done with the upstairs! I am so excited to show you what I have been working on for the past months!!! I hate that pictures never come out how you want them, so bare with me!

Now that all three rooms are dedicated to a child, I am able to make the whole upstairs landing for the kids. I have always struggled with how to decorate the hallway as since we moved in, there was always the guest room up there as well. Now that Bree is moving in, I have decorated in a kid friendly and kid functional way. I have used the same AWESOME muralist for all three kids' rooms, their bathroom, and now the landing. Let's first walk upstairs and you can see our fun transformation...

Just as you come up the stairs, you see the landing, yes that is zebra stripes painted on the walls! Amanda at Bibs and Cribs painted us that awesome canvas with Footballs and Crowns =)!Jenny Walker, the painter, also painted "All because two people fell in love" on that first wall above the kids' rooms =)......and each room has the name of it's resident just outside the door (as Shane put it "their own personal nameplates" =))This bench will serve as storage to linens and towels. I got this cute "Look What I Did" plaque at Hobby Lobby.

Mom made the girls this fabulous bow holder to hang just outside the bathroom. It says "hair bling" =)...

A glimpse at their bathroom...Now on to Miss Bree's room! Her room has turquoise walls with black chandeliers painted all throughout. The accent colors are hot pink and red, with black and white...the only things not finished is we have not found the perfect chandelier to hang yet and her changing/dressing table area is not complete.I made that bedskirt! It was a big project, but I LOVED how it turned out!!This table was just an ugly, inexpensive, little outside set from Hobby Lobby. After some red and hot pink spray paint, some tulle and ribbon...a fabulous little place for tea parties =)!! Box made by Scarlett Boutique!Now on to Big Sister Claire's room...

From the door - You see her play area - I did not get pictures but there are some murals on the walls in there. Claire's room was already pink, black and white. I had big plans of completely changing it. But as we worked on little B's room, Claire loved it and wanted her room the same. I loved it too and I thought it would be fun to have the contrasting rooms! So I just added turquoise and red and some more fluff and now we have the big girl version!I made these really cute toppers for each of her bed posts - really easy and inexpensive! Mom made her that precious box, her dream box! She should post about it soon!!

Claire got a tulle bed skirt too - Cooper and Oscar love it =(...I recently showed Owen's room back when he got his big boy bed, but he followed me around saying "My room, ONENS room" =)...so here are a few pics. His murals are a treasure map. Each island and water is named after a last name in our family. Hope you enjoyed the tour!! I am so proud of it!! I love the girls' rooms so much, I have considered moving Owen in with Shane downstairs and me moving up here with them =).

Have a great weekend and happy 4th!!!!
