Big girl room before/after

We spent a good bit of time fixing up a room for our daughter in June. She will be four this winter, so we decided we wanted to move her down the hall to be closer to the bathroom. Since becoming reliably potty-trained, she'd had a few episodes where she would be in tears in her crib because she couldn't  get out to go to the bathroom. Poor girl!


You know, it's been funny to have a toddler transition into a preschooler with no pregnancy on the horizon. When our son was three going on four, we had to move him into a bed...because the baby needed the crib. You get the picture. Well, with our Sweetie, she has definitely let me know that she is a big girl and ready to move on to bigger things. 


The spare room that is next to the kids' bathroom functioned as a guest room and my sewing room.

This picture is representative of the paint color that pervades much of our house. Mental institution chic.


I added the chandelier I inherited from my sister, knowing that eventually this would be Sweetie's room.


So.......we painted and fixed up. I'll share some more details on the process soon. And....voila.

She loves it. : )
