Here are some more pictures of Ryleigh's room. We finished it for the most part this past weekend. We are now just busy moving furniture from her old room to the new room and get things set up in the nursery. We are very excited for how well her room came out and she thinks it is "pretty".
We spent a day measuring and chalking straight lines for the outline of the castle. Jeff then came through and taped the whole outline so that he could easily paint it.
Jeff then painted the entire castle. We used a special paint that has a sandy texture to it to make the "castle look" more authentic. Jeff says it was not a fun paint to paint with- it didn't go on like regular paint and we had to use a lot more of it!
We then spent several days painting in black lines to make the bricks. It took a lot longer than we expected to paint all those lines!
This corner is going to be a magnetic chalkboard. That is one of the projects we still have left to do in Ryleigh's room. We are hoping to get it done this week.
This is the happy princess in her new room. We were able to get her bed moved in Sunday night so that she could sleep in her new room.
