So 6 liters of green paint, 6 of purple paint and about 40ish of Valais and were done yay!! All up including cost of paint, rollers, brushes, tape, trays etc we spent about $700!! Labour was donated with love to that's pretty good So this week the range and hot plate will go in, a few cupboard fronts that have been scratched will be changed, ceiling where the hole was will be painted, we have about a pallet of pavers left over and a pile of yellow sand so will lay them outside our bedroom door for our little courtyard Next weekend I hope we can move our spa in and install the fencing, following Monday carpets and vinyl floor start and should have handover around this time So excited right now!! As for the GREEN room, we bought home a heap of paint swatches and asked the kids what they wanted, Jack chose the green (his fav colour is red but he wasn't going to have that!), so green it is !! He also wants a blue roof, however I'm not sure about this one, might have to see, although I found this pic and think its pretty cool, feedback is always welcome!!

Haha, knowing the little turd he'd tell me "it's not dark time yet mummy the sun is still awake" as an excuse to get out of going to sleep! Meanwhile I took him there this morning to show him his room (he hasn't seen it yet) and he LOVED IT! His reaction was absolutely priceless and was so excited, when we went to leave he had to go back in there a few times "just for a little look" I'm so happy he's happy Oh and while I was there this morning the Insulation guy was up in the roof laying our wool r4 batts yay!!
