Remember that coat rack?

I told you about it, the one I bought at Prospector Liquidators a LONG time ago? Like 8 months ago? I finally got around to painting it... And boy, was it a chore.

Not the painting. The deciding.

I didn't know if I wanted it to match the coffee table and dark wall, or to paint it cute kid colors. So I asked Gabe. He said he didn't care. So I asked the girls. They quickly decided on pink, but Gabe immediately vetoed the idea. But he said he didn't care, right? Well, let him clarify: "Kid colors are red, blue, green, yellow. Not pink."

So, to compromise, I bought spray paint to match the rosewood we have, and bought foam girly stickers to let the girls customize it.

I think it turned out great.

What do you think? :-)

I love how it turned out! Has Gabe forgotten that he has girls??? Kids colors are...pink, hot pink, pastel pink, all shades of purple, turquoise, and (if you're Lauryn) green.

First comment, but I've been reading your blog since Gabe told me about it awhile back...and I have to say that I LOVE reading it (I check for new entries every day!). Your girls are so precious and getting so big! The coat rack looks super cute! Hope you're all well and getting a great start to the holiday season!

Love and miss you!

Ack! What fun, coming home to see all your fun comments!
Brooke- I know. Maybe he's still in denial? :-)
Annie- It really doesn't matter. Cheap coat rack, cheap paint. Easy to redo!
