First off, a big congratulations to my mom who raced the Maui Half Marathon yesterday! My mom is turning into a racing machine. I have no idea where she gets it from… Nicely done mom!!
This weekend was a busy one. Not with training…I had a spare room to tackle! I have disliked this room from the moment I bought my house – baby blue with a blue patchwork feature wall. Me and specialty painting techniques? Not my thing. I never hung pictures on the wall or did anything to it, besides let junk clutter it, because I was always planning to redecorate. Um…three years later and it is about time I did something about it! Here are some before shots: 
Plus I had a chance to properly display a few things that are important to me. I have a collection of Harrods Christmas bears (you know, the big department store in London that the Queen likes to shop at?). These guys span from 1990 to 2000 and have been sitting in a box in my garage.
Oh…and I promise to get some workouts in this week. After all, I am racing this weekend!

good luck this weekend! (and nice colour...i like it)
WOW. You did an amazing job -- I am in awe! Painting to me, ranks right up there with neurosurgery (having the intellect and presence of mind to perform a task) and fly-fishing (having patience to perform said task.) LOL!!!
Gorgeous work, girl! :) :) :) :)
Congrats to your mom! I think Hawaii is the best place to race but may be a little biased ;-)
And I think the room looks much better than before. I have a room that could use some redecorating if you're ever bored ...
Congrats to Mama Leana!
Congrats to your mom, I like the butter yellow, very calm for a bedroom!

I am sitting here, thinking about everything I need to buy - primer and paint and get cracking. Literally, that's what I'm doing today, painting the bike room a nice bright RED. Yours looks great. I am hopeful..

first kudos to mama!!
ok love the yellow, that's what we did in our second bedroom...loooove it
Congrats to your Mom!
Like the new color. I like blue, but the patchwork wall was a bit much. It's amazing what a difference a couple coats of paint can make.
I am a big fan of yellow rooms. Very warm and chirpy :)
Super congrats to your mom!!
