We just arrived from a 3 day visit in Florida to see the kids. It was a very short visit but we packed a lot of activities within those days. It was hectic especially because the kids are all scattered, but really fun. Tina drove 2 and 1/2 hrs. with her 3 boys and Kerri flew in with her husband and 3 kids from West Palm to join us. John and I had to split because although Rochelle, Jed and Heather all live in the Tampa Bay area, Heather is still about an hour's drive away so John stayed with her and I stayed with Rochelle, just occasionally all meeting in the mall and for dinner and brunch.
It was like home away from home because Rochelle and I did a lot of redecorating and you all know I love doing that! This was AJ's room before but she was so nice to give it up for the coming twin girls because it is the biggest room after the master. This room has a nice lake view from the window and it will be relaxing for Rochelle to rock the babies there when feeding them.
They decided to keep the underwater mural but painted the walls purple and mint green and added chair rails and moldings to make it look more feminine. We are not done decorating the room because the 2 cribs are not in yet so I will show more of that next time.

But AJ's new room is done. They splattered different paints on opposite walls and painted the adjoining walls with coordinating solid paints. Kinda funky but cute, lol!
I slept here because Tina stayed in the guest room with her boys, so I felt like a teenager again. I moved a few things around. The floor settee was by the window and I moved it to the other side of the bed and I moved the bean bags near the window and moved the end table closer to the bed.
We got her a new dresser for her birthday. It doubles as her desk too. I took pictures before I folded her clothes nicely in the drawers. Sorry!
Love these pillows!
I created a little seating area with her bean bags and a little flower ottoman by the window.
Oooops, I forgot to show the wall opposite the window but it is painted a hot pink like the bed cover. Or is it that aqua blue? OMG! I cannot even remember, LOL!
I think they need another pillow saying "OMG", don't you think? LOL!
Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at my granddaughters' rooms.

This is a great room! I love the mural on the wall as well as the paint spattered wall! This is perfect for a teen and I know AJ must just love it!
Let's hear more about your trip. I KNOW you went shopping!! ;-D
XO,
Janie
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! Love the vivid colors and the undersea mural is enchanting. The splattered wall is so striking, but can any teen keep from writing on it with a black sharpie? Lol! What a fun room cleverly done.
You are so busy, what a fun life. The room looks darling. Lucky little girl. Have a fun trip, your package should be waiting for you when you get home. I sent it out today. Richard from My Old Historic House.
Cute room Christine!
Hi Christine, this is a great room for a teenager, so bright and happy.. what color did you say the green wall was? I see apple green, bright and happy.. hugs ~lynne~
What a fun room - I would have loved it when I was that age!
fun to see!!!
What a great room for a teen!!! So cute! The twins have a great room too. Sounds like y'all had a great time.
So glad you got to visit with your children. I love it! AJ's room is adorable, I love the splash paint and all the decorations.
I think it rocks! She must just love it. What young girl wouldn't? I also love what they did with her old room with the mural. The difference to the walls is definitely more feminine.
so cute!! I had to look at this when my daughter was out of the room cause those are her colors and she'd be having a fit to redo her room....again! lol
hope you've been doing well! have a great week!
AJ's room is so cute!
Cute! Perfect for a teen girl. Hot pink and green go so well together.
Looks like you had a wonderful trip and always so much fun to spend time with family!
The kids have cute rooms!
How wonderful dear Christine, you had a ball at your daughter's. AJ's room is fabulous, very sixtees and yes, I love her pillows too! She's a lucky young lady and you too as she shared her room with you! The undersea mural is fantastic, I just love it along with the splattered wall, very artistic her entire room. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, FABBY

What a lovely room! The little girl is so lucky. Thanks for sharing.
Hope to see you on my blog:)
Chrstne- What a cute and fun room AJ has! The paint spattered wall reminds me of the wallpaper I had in our son's room as a toddler. The mural in her "old" room will be so entertaining for the babies! :-)

What a terrific kid's room! I know you had a wonderful time. I can't wait to see my grandsons again!

How cute! It's still girly but not overdone. What a fun room for a little girl. I love the colors.
How cute! Of course I like the paint splatter!
OOO, I'm telling you, Christiney...BOTH these rooms should be in a decorating magazine. I love them both.
I can tell you had so much fun...I'm so glad you are able to visit your children and grands often. It makes you so happy and it sure shows. :))
Love, bj
Christine, thank you for swinging in. I'm glad you've enjoyed the tour.. it was a day I won't forget for a long time.. now back to reality and getting things decorated around here. lol

Christine, I just love this room. It's colorful and creative and FUN! Love that splatter wall. Oh, how neat!
I am dropping by to thank you for your prayers and sweet words on my last post. Things here are still crazy, but I decided to steal some time to blog a little. I wanted to be sure and let you and my other bloggy friends know how much I appreciate you and your love.
Sending love back to you in return...
