Boys Room Before and After

So about a little over a year ago we moved into our house.  I wanted to go thru room by room and redo them or slap some paint up on the walls.  I started with my older son's room first, sorry no pictures.  Life went on and my middle son, kept asking "mommy when are you going to do my room" I kept saying your's is next.......well now a year later and his finally got finished! YAY!! O, keep in mind I did not pick out the paint! Big mistake letting your 4 yr old pick out paint!

Before

I started with a blank slate

yay, for white walls

After

Check out the dresser, now look at the next picture

new dresser

Walls were painted using Behr Ultra Premium Eggshell paint. Color is Disney Alien Green and Laser Beam.  I added the wainscotting so the green wouldn't be so......well......green!  It helped.  I painted the green stripe all the way around the room to break up the yellow a bit. I redid the dresser and you can read about it here. Added his name and some nic nac's, sports stuff and of course you can't forget his transformer curtains and blanket!  I'll add some shelves for books and stuff, but I really wanted to get this done for him since he'd been asking for awhile now.  If you all could see his face when I did the big reveal.....he was out of town with brother and daddy for the weekend.......his face was priceless!

Before and After Dresser Redo

I inherited this dresser from my husband's grandmother. We actually had it as our dresser in our previous house before I bought my fab- 9 drawer dresser from Costco! So off to storage it went, till the yard sale.  At that point, I decided I was going to just redo the dresser for my middle son's new room.  So for a year now since we moved it's been sitting in the garage. Again, naughty mommy!

Before:

Barf! Right!?!?!

Well here is the after:

So here's the low down.  I removed the ugly wood pull knobs (if you call it that) I sanded the dresser enough to scuff it up.  Added a coat of Behr interior primer and sealer (purple can). I then used the same green paint (Disney Alien Green) I used on the walls to basically outline the dresser.  Used Rustoleaum Painter's Touch gloss white for the remainder of the dresser.

Knobs I found at Hobby Lobby for 50% off! YAY!!!

Lined the inside of the drawer with shelf liner contact paper. You can't really tell, but the contact paper is lime green, yellow and white.  Matches everything perfectly!

Anyway, it took me about a week to do, and my son was super excited to get it up in his room.  Stay tuned for the before and after of his room.  Just a few more finishing touches and I will post!
