Jo's new room color,
with (a sop to the 6-year-old girlie) one pink wall;
and Opie's new color(s), chosen to complement his "baseball guys"
and his two auntie-made quilts.
Yes, Grandma and Grandpa put down their crackberries, picked up some brushes and rollers, and helped us give both kids' rooms a makeover. Opie is still grousing that he doesn't LIKE brown, but I do and I am the one with the credit card so I won that particular fight. The fish (see pink wall) had a near-death experience--accidentally poured down kitchen sink into disposal--but was recovered and now is back in its rightful home. As are Grandma and Grandpa, who we'll miss very much, but they have businesses to run and banjos to play so we'll see them again another time. And a month from tomorrow we leave for San Francisco!

The rooms look great!
My mom just came today to stay for a few days and it's such a big help to have her around to help entertain Graham.
Oh that project turned out wonderfully. Two extra people to help out around the house/help keep children busy for a few days... You lucky duck!
I like it! The rooms look great.
I always enjoyed it when we had family living with us temporarily. With so many people around, it always seemed like we were having a party.
Wow, the rooms look great!
Yep, we're happy to host ANY of the grandparents who want to come back. Come back, please.
it's amazing what a little free time can do.
i love new paint.
Hey, I spy a photo of two little girls! How in the world did they go and grow up on us???
The colors look lovely. Opie will grow to appreciate his big boy room. He and Oliver can commiserate in the meantime (we left the former office walls gray when we moved the crib in there).
The rooms look great!
Two extra adults in this place would be nice when it came to entertaining Little Miss. heh!
You are so lucky!
I love a good room makeover!
I LOVE what you did in Jo's room with the two colors- feminine but not too girly. So cute! And baseball guys- you can't have too many of those. Aren't you just thrilled to walk into the freshly painted rooms? It's like- ahhhhh.
Business to do and banjos to play- I might have to use that line. Sorry I can't make cupcakes- I've got business to do and banjos to play..
You're not going to tell us the names of the paint???
Cute, cute, cute!
I am with you on the perks of multiple adults and communal living - I enjoy it much more than I don't :)
Oh, so gorgeous, love the colors!
