The History of our Chair Rail

As I was painting Owen's chair rail last weekend I couldn't help but remember all the times I had painted it in the past. As the chief painter in the family, I have painted that chair rail 5 times! Here is the history:

The first color I painted it was white. I made our front bedroom into what I had hoped would be a little nursery....but no pictures :( and coincidentally...no baby :)

And then came Kate....and color number two -

purple

And about a year later it was Savannah's room...and the third color -

pink

And then just last year we redid Savannah's nursery into a crazy bright big girls room -

back to purple! #4

and finally the fifth color....blue!

I can't believe that all three of my kids have now each had a turn in that room! I still remember to this day when we found out we were going to get Kaitlyn and I immediately went out shopping to decorate her room and fill her dresser and toy box! It was the most fun and exciting time for me! Six years later I am still thrilled to make my boy happy with a room all his own!
