The Big Reveal

Okay so it's really not a big reveal, but I finnally finished Dillon's room.  I forgot to take before pictures, so all you get is the after.  His room looked identical to Elleree's before I painted it, so if you really want to see what it did look like refer back to that.  
 If you know Dillon he is a huge sports fan, and loves, LOVES the Nebraska Huskers.  Side note here for like the first five years of my marriage I thought Jason was just saying Huskies wrong.  I had no clue that they really are the Huskers.  Then I had to ask the stupid question of "what is a Husker?".  That is like blasphemy in Jason's family.  I know better now. 
 So I wanted it to be sports, with a little sophistication.  Okay, I just didn't want it to be ugly.
 I don't think it looks too bad.  Once again Jason thinks it would look better with the trim and doors painted too, but I wasn't going to go there.
Dillon has nooo idea how hard I worked on it, maybe someday he will appreciate what an awesome mom he has.

You are the best mom ever! I think Dillon's room looks great. I know nothing about Huskies or Huskers........it's all the same to me!

You really are the best mom ever. Even if Dillon or the other kids never come to actually say it, they will know it! What a talented person you are. The room looks amazing. Who knew there were Husker fans in Idaho. And really, where did that come from?? Did Jason go there are some point or any family member?

Man... all that straight line taping to paint the stripes!
OY!
You are one dedicated, or crazy, or OCD mom for sure.

I know of those corn shucking Huskers. It goes to show how much Dillon is influenced by his dad, as are all kids.

Great job!

Fantastic work mom! makes my arthritic hands hurt just looking at it.
You did a very tasteful, fun design.
I think Dillon knows his mom is incredible. He may forget it for awhile when he's a teen... But he knows :0)
