This picture was taken when we walked through with our realtor and the previous owner was still living in the house. It's my only "before" picture of this bedroom.
The first thing we did was pull up the carpet, then we tackled the wallpaper. Unlike the wallpaper in the girls' room which came down in sheets, this stuff had to be picked and scraped off. It took 3 days!
One of my little helpers
The night I started on this room, I immediately felt discouraged because the stuff was caked onto the wall. I sat there and asked God for help. About a half an hour later one of my boys came into the room, sat down and started to work alongside of me.
Then he asked, "Want me to sing to you?"
Then he asked, "Want me to sing to you?"
"Deep in the hundred acre wood
Where Christopher Robin plays..."
So we sat there together for almost 2 hours peeling wallpaper, talking, and singing "Winnie the Pooh."
When we stopped by the Home Depot to look at counter tops he found a paint color called Christopher Robin's Swing.

So here it is...the new and improved boys' bedroom in Christopher Robin's Swing.

Oh, Jenny! It is beautiful! I love the color + those beautiful baseboards! But more than that, I love this sweet story- it made me cry! And I have a pretty good feeling that I know which one of your boys that was...! :)
Love you, dear friend!
