My parents came out to visit and see our new apartment! My dad retired last Monday and flew out that night, so we feel really special that he would want to start out his retirement with us. But unfortunately as soon as he got here I had many, many jobs for him. Most importantly the kids' rooms. I decided to keep their rooms really clean and simple. It is so easy for an apartment to feel and look cluttered. I wanted to try stripes and details on the walls and this is what we came up with. I LOVE how they turned out. It is so nice to finally have Grey's room decorated since he really hasn't since he was born (we knew we would be moving in 6 months and it just wasn't worth it!). Anyways, thank you Dad for all your sweat and labor during your first week of retirement!
PS Thanks to Ruth Ann for the quilts-they are so perfect and what gave me the inspiration for both rooms.

Love it. You really have an eye for that.
Val, those rooms look like they are straight out of a Pottery Barn Kids Catalog. I want you to buy a plane ticket for tomorrow and come help me decorate my house!
Nice Job Val! They look great! Did someone make those quilts? They are perfect!
So cute. I love simple. Does Jim want to come and paint my bedroom???
So cute Val! You've got some serious talent!
CUTE rooms, Val! You should go into the biz, lady! I'm so happy for you guys settling into your new home. I have to say I am so jealous of your lake, too.
To answer Jody, ruthann didnt make the quilts. She found the bike one on ebay-it was one that Ad and I had seen years ago and were dying for once we knew Grey was a boy. How lucky are we?! And to answer Emily, no Jim does not want to paint your room:) but appreciates the offer!
