The Story Of Frumpka And The Bad Kid Room.

 I can't believe it's Labor Day already. Seriously. Time really needs to slow down just a tad because even though I'm in my early 30's, I can't keep up! So, Ed and I have officially owned RHN for 4 months already and we have completed a decent amount so far. However, I want to chat about the 'bad kid room' aka Frumpka's room. Before you label me as off my rocker insane, there is a method to my madness and the spare bedroom/Ed's home office may be the ticket.


So, where do I start explaining? Ok, well, today I was studying and/or observing the mess that is the spare bed/Ed's home office and ugh. My father started to tackle the walls in the bad kids room and dropped his blade and putty knife most likely in disbelief or in hope that when he returns it won't be so bad.


Do you want to know why we call it the bad kids room? Why I mentioned the name Frumpka? Let me explain. This room is craaay-zee. The paint is plastic and green and fuchsia (and on the ceiling as much as on the walls). The closet has some craaay-zee ass letter stickers plastered about that could spell Frumpka. The joint on the wall is bowed out and the ceiling fan is missing a blade. The moulding around the door is half missing and split, and the light switch is literally punched through the wall. The outlets are painted their respective coordinating colors and did I mention the paint is PLASTIC?! Oh and we're missing floor moulding and a portion of the heating pipe is exposed with no cover. My insanity is 100% a tactic to ensure I just don't break down in tears every time I walk past/into that room.

That is the plastic paint specimen that we sampled from the bad kid wall.

Hey random pipe, sup kiiiid

Wonky-ness never looked so good. 

Bowed jacked-up tape joint craaay-zee.

So, what do we plan for the 'bad kid' room? Well, we were thinking of finding said plastic paint and rekindling our relationship with it. Bad idea? What's that? Ed doesn't look at that great in magenta? It's because he's so pale, right? Actually, we will fix the bad kid room and make it more of a bad ass room. Well, maybe not bad ass as in hells angles, but bad ass as in not pink and plastic. We will add a sleeping space for guests that come to crash at RHN and a desk for Ed to work from home from. He is so excited for that. We aren't sure colors yet or any of that fancy jazz and we will share when we decide, but for now I just wanted to share the bad kid room before its transformed into a bad ass big kid room. Off to go paint.
