Play room Redo!

We finally have painted a room. Not the crackle one, but the playroom. I know you are disappointed but I really look at the playroom color ALL. DAY. LONG. So something had to be done. So we did it. We took the benefits from our garage sale and spent it all on paint! We went to our NEW Lowes only seconds away from our new house and got the paint and all the supplies we would need.
We decided that we would go in stages and do a little bit each night. It was more effort cleaning up every day, but it really helped not being so tired and we took our time on each wall.
I wanted to get in a paint war with John but he was all "Let's get to work" and "Let's do this right."
He did the rolling and I did the edging. I could get into a whole analogy about how that is a metaphor for our marriage, but let's just leave it at that.

The before:

It looks a little more orangeie here, but it's more of a terra cotta color.

Ahh finished! And, oh look- lived in too. I'm still working on that "magazine" look. Anyone got tips on how to train the children to look at the magazines and keep the playroom clean?
