tweaking

the littles room got a little tweaking. the yellow dresser and chest had to go. they looked really cute but they smelled. i guess the old man who owned them was a smoker. it didn't matter what i tried i couldn't get the smell out. one smelled more than the other but at the end they both had to go. Hector has asthma so no smelly furniture in here. the old dresser made a come back.

at first i wasn't to sure about painting Hector's bed white. i was just going to buy a white one but i'm glad i tried it. the bed turned out good and now i won't be buying a bed anytime soon. i added a little more to the bedding and added more color. the other way was good but it didn't feel kiddish. i like this look alot more.

the shelf i bought at an antique store in a neighboring town. i got alot of slack for it but i love it. i had no room for it that day. so i put it on layway and sent my brother-in-law for it later. it was meant for my room but i needed to fill the space. yes, i folded and added a tv to the room. the shelf holds the tv, game system, dolls, bows and stuff.

i brought my chair in for a place to sit. now they have a place to sit while watching tv or playing games. the tv is not in a convenient location but i didn't want the room to revolve around it. the yellow canvas i had from another project i never started and spray painted it.

on the kids walls i changed out there decor some. the yellow letters i picked up at an antique/thrift store, painted out the stars and added a print. on Hector's wall i kept his print. it was given to me by our old mailman now friend when he was born. it reminds me of California and the beach.

there you have it a little tweaking, a little color and a room that feels cozier.

here's keeping it real...what the room really looks like.
