Ok, so in our house there is always dirty dishes! And even after I did this cleaning job, there where was cup thrown in by Jeremy. But I saw on Fly lady a video of before and after of a kitchen. It happens to us all! Before you know it, junk takes over, dirty dishes everywhere. So today in 2 hours ( dealing with kids mixed in) here is what I was able to do!

AnnieQ's Room-Before and After

When we moved here 7 years ago, the middle bedroom became Robby's. It was the first room we painted, yellow and blue, with trucks, every where. On one side we painted a chalk board, which is really cool (next time I will think hard on the placement of it!:)). I loved that room. As years went on, Isaiah, joined Robby in that room. Then the girls came and I had two toddler beds and a crib. As we saw our family growing, we knew we needed our other bedroom to be a bedroom and not an office. So the dance of the rooms is in progress. We moved the bunk-bed into the boys room and I began the task of de-junking the room, then stripping the wall paper down. I almost can't believe the room was as bad as it was!!

But now it is together and I say I did it around $150. We had the bed, headboard, which Dan attached to the bed. I bought a bed skirt, the curtains, two canvas baskets at Target. About $75. The Disney bedspread we bought last year almost new at a thrift store for $6. The wall canopy was given to us. Some of the wall decorations I got at Hobby Lobby a few months ago for about $15. The rest was spent on paint. I didn't paint the blue...partly cause Isaiah's hand prints are on there, and I made blue work. I still have some other thinks I need to paint pink, but I am done for a bit. I still need to go through the selves on the wall, but until I get the boys room settled, I don't want to move that stuff.
This room also has the crib set up for any foster babies that may come our way. It also transform into a toddler bed also. The desk was Robby's a few years ago, he moved on to bigger ones, and I don't have a chair there yet, cause the chair will be used for other things, like climbing on to see things. By next year the chair will end up in there.
So I think I did good!! Can't wait for AnnieQ to see it, I have had the door lock for two weeks!!
