My mom and I finally took down the 80s sports wallpaper in Riley's room last fall, but underneath we found a pink walls. He wasn't too happy about that. In an New Year's resolution effort to get some things done on my "to do" list, I finally painted his room. We had been debating about what color to paint it for weeks. He wanted Chicago Bear Blue and Orange and I wanted something more neutral. We finally came to a compromise and painted it white with the blue and orange stripes. After spending hours aligning the blue tape so the stripes would be straight, putting on 3 coats of the orange and 4 coats of the blue, I was finally done. This isn't quite the finished product. I now have to go back through and touch up where the colors leaked through the the blue tape, but you can't see it on the pictures. The colors will coordinate with his Chicago Bears bedding, rug, throw blanket, posters, banners, footballs, plush fingers, and other decorations.Thursday, February 5, 2009

Hi Riley,
Your room looks great. Glad your mom and you come to a compromise. I bet the stripes command attention when you enter your room.
Miss you.
Love,
Grandma Payne :-}
Totally BOY written all over that room :). So how come not the Broncos??? I remember when we lived in Denver growing up and my mom painted our front door ORANGE. It was a little embarrassing thinking back. I need to paint...
WOW Carla. You are such a pro!! I am so impressed. It looks great. Will you come and paint Kody's room in Broncos colors.
