I get bored easily and if I don't have anything to do, I make up stuff to do. so far this week I have decided to have a new baby to keep me busier – quickly vetoed by hubby. Then I wanted to split my girls up from the bedroom they share and fix two new bedrooms…..vetoed by hubby. Paint the walls in the girls bedroom with a mural…..then I was afraid I couldn't do a good enough job…..vetoed by me. Move my girls out of their twin and toddler bed into some bunkbeds we have that need to be painted…..hubbys says it is too cold outside to paint them now. so Q #1 anyway I can get rid of this – I – have – to – be – busy – to – be – happy problem?
Q2:
So my newest project is 'the toy room' in the toyroom is leftover furniture from a nursery. A 3 drawer dresser, an armoire, a bookcase, all oak, and a pink princess toybox. The walls are painted a light yellow. My Q is what could I do to it to make it more interesting. Paint something on the walls? Like butterflies, I mean I have no idea………do you have any?
Have you considered finding a craft you're good at, and hawking the results on Etsy? There is a lot of stuff on there that is terrible, admittedly, with people making not six cents off their dreadfully co-ordinated and artlessly sewn $20 "burp rags" — but there are also a lot of mummies who're doing things like making greeting cards with their Cricuts, and these turn out quite nicely, and bring in quite a respectable amount of pin money.
It also, in my view, does something useful — that is, it saves me from going to malls, it saves me from buying made-in-China schlock, it lets me easily support small business.
If you are hell-bent on painting something on the walls look through http://uglyhousephotos.com/ first…
Haha, this cracks me up because i think i did this when i had young kids too. We had two boys for such a long time sharing the same room and i would always try to change the theme of it or move around furniture and one day my middle son was like, "Momma! My bed moved again! What is wrong with it?" I realized then that i should probably stop rearranging furniture out of boredom…
Get the kids out! Keep them busy, go to the mall and walk around or go ice skating…that's always fun and that can be a good thing to start the kids in at a young age.
Question number two: you could paint whatever the girls are most obsessed with right now. Fairies…butterflies…horses? you could decorate it with one thing your oldest likes and one thing your youngest likes. you could even give them some paint and put their hands in it and stamp their hands on the walls. you could leave that part alone and you then remember how tiny their hands were when they are all big and grown up! Hope i helped!
So I have this problem…..BQ decorating toy room?
