Little Girls Room Reno

For the past several years we have had a “beds room” and a “dressing room”. As the oldest girls got older they started having small complaints about the messes little girls make and other such things. After much deliberation I decided perhaps the time has come to separate them. 

(Before)

The oldest three stayed in the beds room and we moved the little girls to the dressing room (Heidi is still in the nursery but we will likely move her to the littles room at some point). 

(Before/During)

One of the most enjoyable things about making this move was letting the girls choose paint and patterns to make the room “theirs”. Carrie and Ruthie chose a rainbow room. Carrie’s favorite color is purple so she requested a purple wall and Ruth likes blue so she chose a blue wall. The room had been grey before so we left the other walls that color. 

(After!)

We love the finished room! 

I had found rainbow curtains I liked but they seemed so expensive. When I ordered the comforter sets for the girls these sheets came with it. My kids are strange and never use a sheet so I asked my mom to make them into curtains! She went above and beyond and painted the ribbons and gathered them to match the pattern on the comforter. 

They are really enjoying having their own space to listen to cds, play with their dolls, read, and rest. It’s gone better than I expected. They sleep together on the top bunk at night and Ruth naps alone on the bottom bunk. 

Double curtains to help keep out the light in the morning.
