I am making such progress in George's room. This weekend I had some help as well. I have a slightly craft, artistic neighbor in Naul Manthe. He may not like me sharing his creative side with the world, but I have seen his "work" on birthday posters for his kids and so I asked for his help.

First, Mom and I went to Lowe's and got a large piece of MDF board. This is medium-density fiberboard, a type of particle board made of small particles of wood. I had to have it cut into two pieces to fit into my car. Naul then drew trees on the board! They are very cool - inspired from an episode of Color Splash I saw on HGTV. Now, Jeff is going to cut them out with a jigsaw and then I will paint them chocolate brown. After they're painted, Jeff will hang them on the wall and then we'll touch up the nail/screw holes. CUTE!!

Also over the weekend I designed a whole Elfa closet system with the help from Lori at the Denver Cherry Creek Container Store. It is sooooo cute and an incredibly useful way to maximize the closet space. As soon as they're done with George's room I'll be able to assemble it. While at the Container Store I picked up a bunch of mini hangers. I came home and started hanging up some clothes Kristine gave me. I need more hangers already!

The plan is that George's room should be done this week. We'll see. I certainly hope so. I am anxious to get all the pieces into place and see how it looks. I believe they are going to texture today or tomorrow, so it should be done pretty quickly. Look for pictures soon!
