Girl's Rooms

I realized when I posted the picture of Angel's new bed, that I love the girl's rooms. They are two of the most peaceful, colorful rooms in the house and so much fun to decorate. Angel's furniture is my sister Megs old furniture that Jason sanded and stained and looks so cute now. Her bookcase my grandfather made last year and Marmee made her curtains. Emma's room has been the nursery room, Angel's first room. I love the green and lavender and Marmee made those curtains as well. The wicker dresser used to be my baby sister Alli's and the white shelf was mine growing up that my dad made. I realized as I was taking the pictures that I have done a big cross-stitch for each of the girls....due to how long those projects take and my limited amount of free time, this new little baby girl might have to get something smaller!!! AAHH, guess I need to start looking!

FIVE bucks well spent!

This past weekend a neighbor (thanks Linda!) called to tell us a house down the road had a toddler bed and mattress for sale. So we drove down and took a look. The bed had quite a bit of crayon marks on it and was covered in stickers that had been on there for awhile. It was also a bit wobbly due to missing bolts, but Jason said everything looked fixable so we decided to take it. They wanted ten dollars for it, but when I looked in my wallet I only had five. We told them that we would be back with ten, but then they said they would give it to us for FIVE BUCKS!! I spent a good hour using a Magic Eraser to clean all the crayon markings off and then used LOTS of goo-g0ne and a Pampered Chef stoneware scraper to get the stickers off. A little 409, some polish and Jason bought new bolts and tightened everything up....we had a beautiful brand new looking wooden toddler bed and mattress....for FIVE BUCKS. Angel and Emma were both very excited (Emma likes to call it her bed) and had fun "helping" fix it up. Angel is enjoying her brand new big girl bed a lot and loves to help make it in the mornings!!!

Angelica: "Mama, can I listen to some crunchy music?"
Me: "Some what honey?"
Angelica: "You know, crunchy music.....like Let's Go Girls!"
