Painting

Janika has wanted to redo her room for a long time.  So we finally gave in and purchased the paint for her -- bright green (her favorite color) and black for the accents (shelves, desk, window seat...).  Her room before had one purple wall (as shown in the picture and three yellow walls).  She pretty much did the whole thing all by herself -- which was a huge job!  It took her two full days and she really did an awesome job.  She used this as one of her big Young Women's projects.  Rick came in near the end and helped her finish off the job with the last coat and some final touches.

 It turned out so cute.  Here is a picture of the process.  I will post a picture of the (almost) finished room when she actually cleans it again.  I say "almost" because she needs to find some new handles for the dresser and desk drawers and  attach them, repaint her skinny desk drawer, find some material to make a cover for her window seat cushion and get new blinds.  But at least most of the big stuff is done!
