Big Girl Room Progress!

When we decided to move Josie up to a Big Girl Room I knew exactly what bed I wanted for her.

Andrew and I borrowed his parents truck (since ours still isn't fixed) and drove up to IKEA to get the bed of my dreams.

And then I saw it and decided I didn't love it nearly as much as I thought I did.

Bummer.

So we slapped her old crib matress on the floor and I started hunting for the perfect bed.

I didn't really know what I wanted except I didn't want to spend a fortune and I wanted it white.

Last week I was doing a random search on Craigslist and right at the top was a super cute bed for half of what we would have paid at IKEA, plus it included the matress and had never been slept on!

Score!

I called and we went to get it that night. It wasn't white so I had to paint it, but it is just too, too cute!

(Mmmm, don't you just love over edited pictures?!?)

After walking around with paint in my hair for two days, I finished it up and Josie is now the owner of a Big Girl Bed!

There is no cure for A Mother Who Needs Everything In It's Place like a three year old!

I love that the bed has drawers. I had grand plans for how I was going to organize each one, but Josie had other plans. I decided to let her have her fun and I'll have mine when the newness wears off!

I lined them with fun scrapbook paper to add more color!

And, as you can see, we got her quilt in!

Darlene's sister in law made it and I am completely in love with it! So citrusy!

Her room still has a lot of work to go. I need to decide what I want to do on the walls and I think I am going to slip cover the curtains. The polk a dots are a little too much with the new quilt.

We were able to reuse pretty much everything from her baby room.

And since we moved her into the old guest room, she has her own bathroom now.

We hung her letters above the tub.

And I repurposed the Bullitin Board my Mom made her into a bow holder!

And we stuck in a few Bible Verses for her to see everyday.
