Painting and Cantaloupe

I'm painting Ashton's big girl room. It's funny what you remember your mom doing while growing up. My mom always painted our rooms in themes. I had pink stripes and roses once. My brother had a Utah Jazz room. My sister had an ocean room complete with her bed on the floor. As we grew, our room design would change so I wasn't stuck with roses in high school. I loved it and now want to do it with Ashton. Since this is probably the only room I'll get to pick the design/colors, I enjoyed it. However, if you ever need some free marriage/conflict resolution therapy, I would advise you and your husband tape a diamond wall in your house. It was a lot harder and much more frustrating than I thought it would be. But the finished product is worth every moment!

With all the tape lines that rarely wanted to stay up.

Up close of the diamonds. Some touch up work is needed.

The whole wall. The other walls will be just lavender, no pattern.

 Our cantaloupe are finally ready! We're so excited. Ashton asks for it all the time, which is great since we have six in our refrigerator right now! She brought this in last night and was so proud of carrying, "a heavy cant-lope."
