Big girls room

Once I finished my boys room my youngest daughter was very jealous. She felt she had the best room until the boys room was done. Her room had her bed, dresser, an old table with a blanket on top for a nightstand, play kitchen and a couch that I slept on and nursed 3 babies on. All her "stuff" was in piles all over the couch and all over the floor. It was impossible to get to her closet. I hated going in her messy room. Every time we cleaned it she'd be amazed at the toys she'd find hidden in all her other stuff.
I got rid of the couch, moved the kitchen downstairs and re-did her plain white dresser. Then I borrowed an old desk from my folks and re-did that one to match the dresser. I put chalkboard paint on the top of it and that was a huge win with her and my littlest guy. The desk helped a little, but I needed more. I ran back to ana white and built another bookcase. I love Ana. I love the confidence she's given me. I love that my kids have told me that I can do anything and that's how moms should be. My mom could do anything. She still can. Anything.

Here's the room now...




Oh, I also made the curtains and quilted a cute little throw pillow with her name on it for her bed. And the night stand got a paint job and I made a tutu to go around it. So cute and girly now.

There's a few things to finish up, but like the boys room...for now it's done!
