Little did I know what we were in for when the idea of redoing the "boys" room came into play...
Dad set the stage when he told me he wanted to remodel the boys room.
First off was getting rid of the clutter items that have for so long been stored in their room. Second was the dismantling of their two three-tier bunk beds, to be replaced with three twin beds, thus opening up the room and giving it a more "airy" feel. Also, this will allow for them to learn how to keep their beds made and room cleaner!
Thirdly, we got new bedspread and sheet sets. Now this was where things got crazy. With three different personalities to have to contend with, I decided to go out shopping and see what I might find that would match the color scheme I was thinking of using, and would be OK for all three boys to have to live with each day! By chance I found a really DARING(BOLD) pattern ON SALE at the store, and bought them to bring home and show the guys for their approval or disapproval. Well, sure enough, TJ (our colorful one) liked it at first glance! Mikki liked it too, and Ben said he didn't care about the bedding so much, but that he cared about the painting. So, we kept the daring bedspreads and began the next step-Painting!
TJ helped me pick out some colors at the store. Then came the fun part- deciding
which colors where. From there, Ben stepped it with his creative mind and gave us the following wild design work...truly a unique painting experience indeed!

The aqua-ish color on top, with mocha-ish color on the bottom. No simple lines here.
Ben's handiwork- you can barely see the pencillied-in design on the walls
Did I say dots, or spots?! 
Only one wall gets the full dotted look! The other walls are more random. And, of course, this is not the finished picture, as we are still finishing up details. And I didn't get a picture of the room with all the beds made and new bedspreads yet. But here's the jist of their crazy new room.
And by the way, I never got to paint my own room growing up.
Our walls were always white!
(Maybe now I know the reason why????!!!!)
Anyway, it has been a lot of good fun seeing spots appear before our eyes!!
