Ashley's room make-over

A few weeks ago we moved all three kids' beds downstairs to the basement. The two upstairs rooms will now become the baby's room and my craft room/guest room. All the while we've lived here it's been like musical bedrooms in this house - but we are finally to a point where we can really situate things - and it feels so good!

So we have been redecorating all four rooms at once. A lot going on. But it's been fun (I must be "nesting"!).

Ashley's room is the first finished project. My mom and I worked all day Tuesday painting, hanging curtains, and making it look like a garden (Ashley's theme request) with colorful flower decals, butterflys, etc. When she and Luke got home from school we revealed the big surprise and she was thrilled.

We all love it. It is such a happy little garden room for a happy little girl who loves to use her imagination! :)

The room before - brown - had been Luke's
After - surprise!
We used green for the grass and blue for the sky and found a cute little picket fence bed


She's a happy girl

What a transformation and if you feel like I do, when a room is done, all I want to do is be in that room! Good job - not an easy task making a girl happy!

It is a beautiful room. She is going to love it forever. I am glad your mom and sister moved back, nesting is so much easier with help from a work force like your mom.
