Next on the list…..the girls room!!!
There was just TOO much going on in this room.
WAY WAY Too cluttered, crowded and cramped!!
I didn’t even get a “real” before pic because it was just such a mess ( I was hoping to get it clean so I could get a “before” pic where you could actually see the floor).
But, even when it was clean, it still never felt “clean” because it was just so busy!
We just ended up double tasking. We stripped wallpaper BUNNY border and decluttered at the same time. And, here are some pics….
with the border that is half-peeled! |
had to add this pic, cause she’s too cute doing the “hula” while we were cleaning. Ahhhh, to have the life of a toddler. |
yeah, everything went on top of the bed at this point |
BUSY BUSY BUSY….MESS MESS MESS! |
pausing the “clean-up” time for a daddy hug! (she loves this lamby hat) |
Helaina getting swallowed up in the chaos! HELP!!! |
THESE TWO ARE QUITE THE PAIR! LOL
OK, now comes the real work….stripping what was left of the border…..(NOTE TO SELF: never hang border again!!!!!)
This was awful!
But we had a lot of help!
“a microphone will work, momma!!!” |
she was very motivated… |
but, the real work was left to momma…3 hours later, all was done. |
And, after three coats of a fresh off- white color (called “Artist’s canvas”) ..THANKS to daddy……
We now have a fresh and bright, clean, new room!
And here is Helaina’s reaction….
Their new space…..
(Tahlia had already seen it, cause she was under our feet the whole time while we were moving and planning furniture, and…of course, she was putting in her two cents with where everything should go) :)…so, her face isn’t as surprised, but she sure loved it….especially her “new bed”….wait….where IS her bed?????….
well, that’s why she loves it, see…. you can roll it out and put it back when you are done with it!
YUP, this is the BEST solution we came up with to be able to maximize the space in their room!!
We can just roll it away when they want more room to dance, play and tumble!!!
And, Tahlia has gone down to sleep SO much easier since the change. She’s really happy and at peace with the transition! Praise God!
Plus, it is SO SO much easier to read to her and stay close to her till she is asleep. Much more comfortable on momma to squat on the floor, rather than a hard chair!!! 🙂
They are just giddy!!!
Another amazing make over!!! So great that the benefits are a more settled heart for Tahlia! 🙂
So blessed I found your blog! I love these pictures and your lovely words. Can't wait to read more! I am your newest follower and I followed you on instagram too! 🙂 mine is dittoashley
The room looks great and I LOVE that last picture! SO sweet!
I can just feel the “giddy-ness” through the pics! Surely they are LOVIN' the new sleeping arrangement!
