Want to see today's makeover?

 OK. For today's Makeover I will show you what we did with Charlotte's and Matthew's rooms.  Charlotte and Matthew switched rooms a year ago but we did nothing more than change the furniture around. Charlotte was cranky that she had to sleep in a BLUE room (even though the furniture and accessories clearly screamed GIRL)  I am not sure Matthew cared that he was in a dusty purple room, but I was tired of the colour so I felt like an update was needed anyway.  My mom and my aunt came in to do the dirty work for me.  They are a crackerjack painting team. I am not sure if they are available for hire, though.  They allowed me to pay them in coffee and muffins.

We only changed one wall in her room, but it makes a HUGE difference!

My mom matched the paint colour to the pink flowers in the curtains. There is a very tiny pink flower in one of the patches of the quilt--everything is pulled together.

We matched the blue wall colour to Thomas the Tank Engine. It is a vast improvement over the dusty purple!

I love how the colours of the animals pop against the blue wall.

Products used: Dulux Marshmallow (white), Beauti-Tone Moulin Rouge (that pinkest of pinks), Beauti-Tone Chills and Thrills (Thomas Blue).  I made the plaid curtains and the floral curtains and valance were a lucky find at Value Village.  The vintage animal print was a gift from Richard's aunt.
