BIG. GIRL. BEDROOM. WEEKEND.
Oh that's right - it needs the caps.
We took advantage of the outrageously gorgeous weather and painted up a storm in the garage. With the door up. As people walked by, looking on suspiciously, at an enormously pregnant woman painting a dresser.
It's low VOC paint people! I am safe! I am thoughtful of my little unborn sprog! I promise!
I didn't really yell this at them. But I wanted to. Oh how I wanted to...
So... drumroll please... it's done. The deed is done. She slept in her big girl bed for a nap and all of last night. She doesn't seem to understand yet that she is fully able to escape the bed, should she wish to do so, at any time. AND THAT'S FINE BY US!
We caught the entire "unveiling" on video for all eternity, and if I ever find some spare time, I will post that - because the squeal of delight she gave upon entering the room was flippin' fantastic. And made it ALL worth while. As did her repeating "you turned it over" with a massive smile on her face, while she opened and closed every drawer of the dresser about 50 million times. For the record - "turned it over" means (we think) you changed over my room. Not that we literally turned shit upside down. Because, duh - clearly that's not what she meant. (That's totally what I thought she meant at first, and I was all - no, everything is it's right place. Oh, you don't mean literally? Right - I'madumbass.)
It still needs some art on the walls - but I need to figure that out. And get some paint to cover up the patching of a few holes. And find a bed skirt, because who thinks about a bed skirt in all the planning? But here's the pics anyways...
Zee fancy white iron bed that I covet and wish I could be 10 years old again for...
thank you Costco!
My childhood dresser, that was someone else's before it was mine.
It has been blue, pink, white, stripped + varnished, and now painted again.
With new hardware. Dontcha just love the lil pink glass knobs?
Her reading "nook". Again - can I tell you how jealous I am of her room?
Because dude. I want a reading nook.
The infamous chandelier for the closet.
Adorable, perfectly sized, and matches the dresser hardware perfectly.
She likes it.

WELL DONE!!! Isn't it amazing unveiling? We had the same experience with Lucy at this age. We weren't even ready for her to sleep in her big girl bed (no mattress cover) and she absolutely insisted. Aaaaand...she's never left.
It's gorgeous, Sara! Bravo.
So pretty! Come over and help me with our rooms!
