Sierra knew the moment that she was moving to a new house with a new room that she wanted it painted purple. When we got to England, we were so excited to show the kids the house and their respective rooms. Sierra walked into her new room and said, "I thought it was going to be purple." The whole house was painted by our landlord about a month before we arrived. He has been pretty adamant that the house does not need any additional paint. We prefer to agree to disagree on this. Who doesn't love a little color? Plus, Sierra has been really patient with us. If you know our daughter, you know she is anything but patient. So three months later, Zach and I committed the entire weekend to making sure she got her purple room with pictures added to her wall.
Here's how the room looked before. It isn't exactly fair since we had everything bunched in the middle, but you get the idea. About the only thing we did to the room was buy a bedspread.
The paint is a lot different in consistency than what were used to in the states, so it took Zach about three coats to get the room looking this amazing.
Sierra and I went today to pick out all the pillows and cushions for her room. She gravitated toward anything soft and furry. She and I are still working on filling in all of her picture frames. Her dad strung Christmas lights across the top that can be switched to 7 different modes. She has tried a new one out each night. She told us tonight that she has the best room in the house! Mission accomplished.
