After Nine years spent with Logan's animals, it was time to say goodbye. He's wanted to paint his room for a few years now. I decided this summer was a good time to do it, so with a little bit of a sad heart we repainted his walls and bid a fond farewell to his little-boyhood.
I spent literally months painting this when Logan was 2. It took a long time because as most of you know it's pretty impossible to do much with little kids around. I remember going into his room while he napped and painting as much as I could.
Finally around the time he turned 3 I finished. It was great and he loved it for a long time. But my little boy's growing up. Sniff, sniff... And it was time for a change.
Here he is putting on the first coat. It took about 3 coats to fully cover the mural and light colored wall behind.
Ta-da!! His new "tween" room. It's not completely finished. I still need to put some backing on his posters that don't quite fit the frames and we have a little more decorating to do, but I think it looks pretty good. And totally different!! What a difference paint makes, huh?
He starts middle school in the fall. I'm afraid the changes have just begun. But at least he has a cool room to begin his new journey!
