Extreme Makeover ~ Princess Edition

Hailey has been asking "Mommy will you paint my room?"
So I asked "What colors do you want to paint your room?"
And she would always respond "Princess Pink Please!"
Then one day I got a call from my mom that she found the most
ADORABLE Princess Wall Boarder.
I told her to pick it up and we let Hailey know her Princess Pink Room was definitely going to happen...
She was SO excited!!

BEFORE
 The walls were just plain white...
We did not want to put the princess boarder on a slant because of our vaulted ceilings, so I decided to use two colors and put the boarder at Hailey's Height in the middle. I asked her what other color she wanted and at first she said "green"... LUCKILY I was able to talk her into "purple". We had a gallon of each color from our previous house. The purple was the color in her Nursery, and the pink was the color of my downstairs Bathroom and Laundry room. Let me just tell you ~ It worked out PERFECT!!

AFTER
FIRST we used the Purple for the bottom portion...
 Then we painted Pink on the Top...
Then we had to wait 72 hours before we could put up the boarder. This was the hardest part, only because Hailey would come in and say "Oh, my room is not done!" It was funny when I was painting the purple part and had her come in to see it after she said "Oh Mommy, you need to paint faster..." meaning I had missed all the area we were reserving for the pink paint. After explaining to her what we were doing she was OK with it and wanted to get out the pink paint.
So MORE than 72 hours later we put up the PRINCESS BORDER...
 It matched PERFECTLY with the colors on the wall...
Then we changed out the light sockets to white and put the room back together.
OHHH, and as a special surprise for her we added a Princess Castle...
 And she LOVES it!!
At Big Hat Days here in Clovis we found CUTE framed name pictures for the kids rooms.
Hailey picked hers out. The letters in her name have the Disney Princess' in it.
Grandma Andersen made this little sign for her on her first birthday...
 We plan on hanging pictures on this wall sometime... maybe...
It feels SO good to have one room DONE!!
LANDON'S room is next!
HINT: We are looking for FRESNO STATE STUFF...
