Extreme Make Over -- Johnson Home Edition

When Josh and I made plans for this house, we decided to do a themed room for each kid. We love watching the make overs on Extreme Make Over: Home Edition and thought we'd put our hand at it. Of course, if we had Sears as our sponsor we could've beefed up our budget quite a bit. But alas, such is not our lot.

The kids were dying to know what their rooms would be like. We gave them no hints as to their theme or even color palette. Finally, Emma conned me into giving them each a clue. Emma's clue was "mushroom," Abby's was "luck," and Matt's was "steel."

Finally they got to see what Josh and I had been working so hard to do.....

Here are the before/after shots of the kids' rooms, beginning tonight with Emma.

Before....

Middle.....

Josh did a special paint project in the three big kids' rooms. Emma's was a full wall mural of vines. We were inspired by the Tinkerbell room brochure at Home Depot.

After....

Emma's clue was "mushroom."

She got Tink and her friends in stickers. Underneath the fairies and their leaves reads the words, "Magic's Where You Least Expect It."

She still needs some closet doors. But her room is pretty close to being done.

Her bed is a Tink-green with vines. It was a fortuitous find.

Emma loves her room. It's also going to be the official guest room since we gave her our queen bed since we got a king size bed.

Anyone up for a visit?
