A new bedroom




I have struggled with the girls bedroom since we moved to NM. Ruth and Mary have always shared a room and once they got older and their interests are not the same, finding a theme for the both of them is a challenge.
In Texas they had a western room. Red walls, gingham curtain, and Woody and Jesse from Toys Story on the walls.
When we moved to our house in NM their room had pineapple yellow walls I tried for some time in vain to work with the color before painting their room white with polka dots.
The polka dots worked for a while before I tried to turn their room into a summer themed more grown up room.
I struck out on that room and painted over the polka dots.
Then their room was unicorns and dragons.
Cute but really plain, not very colorful, and it didn't fit their personalities.
Enter October and a few days with family in town to watch the kids.
Here is the before picture of their room, the reveal to come in the next post.
