It all started with Emma's room. She has been very sad that she has the smallest bedroom. I told her awhile back that we would look to see if we could find a loft bed. The kind that have desks and bookshelves. She was very excited about the thought of that. We had a garage sale and sold some stuff so I told her we could use the money to look for a new bed. We shopped and shopped until we found the perfect one. She had made some money selling some of her things as well. She told me that she wanted to buy her own bedding. Wow, I thought. I would have thought she would want a new toy or something from the American Girl Doll store. Nope she said, I want a new bedspread.! What a big girl! So, we went from fairies to polka dots. I so wish I would have taken more pictures before we started moving things.
We painted cork boards to hang up. I saw this really cute project in a magazine. I also made curtains out of ribbons.
She was so excited that her bed has a desk. Can you see it?
It hides under one end of the bed. The space where the desk slides is also a super cool place to hide! It goes the full length of the bed. She and Abbie traded bookshelves. Now she has one that is a little taller and Abbie has a smaller one that matches her other one.
Our house doesn't have lights on the ceiling so lighting has always been a problem. We found this really cute lamp. You can adjust any way you like. All five lights can be on or you can switch to two or three. Let me just say that I love Target!
Well, Noah and Abbie were feeling a little left out so...we fixed that! We weren't sure what we were going to do with the white bunk beds that were in Emma's room. Noah spoke up and said he wanted them in his room. There was only one problem. One very big problem.....they're white. So after about 5 spray cans of primer and about 9 cans of brown paint they were finally brown! We also had to do some touch up with some brown paint that we had. What a headache! Literally, after all that paint I thought my head was going to explode! The bed turned out great! Noah didn't want to change his Harry Potter theme so there was not a lot of decorating to do. I found some new bedspreads at Target super inexpensive! Did I tell you how much I love Target!!! We moved his old daybed down to our library room.
Noah likes to read after we put him to bed with his night light. We moved his red beanbag chair up for him to enjoy in his room.
There was a chair we had in the library that didn't fit with Noah's daybed now in there. So, we moved it into Noah's room. He can also sit there and read too.
He can still use his same bookshelves and dresser.
My little pack rat doesn't like to throw anything away!
Abbie's room was next. She got a new bed and bedspread awhile back. We didn't have to change the base color of her room. She decided to add polka dots and hand prints to her room. It turned out really neat! 
We also painted cork boards to use as a head board.
She added some finishing touches!
We still have a few more things to finish up with. I think their rooms turned out really cute. We had fun family time moving and trading and painting and moving!!
Emma told me when we were done that she LOVED her room and she didn't want to change a thing!
Hmmm....What room to do next?
I really love the ribbon curtain. I just might have to copy that. ;) Good work in all of the rooms. :) Getting ready to paint Alanna's room. She is wanting a "horse" room. I think we need a ribbon curtain. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe ribbon curtain was super easy and inexpensive. I got all of the ribbon at Dollar Tree. A horse theme sounds fun!
