Two little Girls

I have been wanting to repaint the big girls' room for a long time. About 2 months before we found out we were pregnant with Anne we had just torn out the plaster from one wall and put up new drywall... and we painted the "spare room" blue. Well wouldn't you know it, a few months later found out we were pregnant, and a couple months after that, found out we were expecting our first daughter. Trent refused to repaint a room since it had perfectly good paint already on the walls. Well anyway, we had a problem with our furnace awhile back and it was putting black soot on all the walls. After we replaced the furnace we were slowly (as in years) repainting all the rooms in our house.

-Before-

I decided that the girls really ought to have a pink room, so I chose a lovely old-fashioned pink color called Rose Shadow or something like that.... We didn't purchase any new furniture or bedding. If we did I would have chosen something painted white, but that looked aged and a pretty patterned quilt with pinks and blues... maybe someday we'll get some furniture of our own.

-Priming-

Back in May we painted Anne and Abbey's room and I was very pleased with the result. The girls love it, it brightens the room, and they love showing people who come to our house their "new" room.

-Daddy succumbing to the fact that he has 3 daughters. Smiling as he paints with pink!-

-Still wet, but getting pink... the doors still need painted-

-Loving it!-

-With their beds together. They call this their "trundle bed" like in Little House on the Prairie. Their beds are no longer like this since it resulted in too much jumping on the beds while they were supposed to be sleeping.-

-My mom had got these cute owl stickers for Abbey so we were able to put those up on the wall with her help. The girls really enjoy them!-

As difficult as it can be at times to have Anne and Abbey sleeping in the same bedroom, I am so thankful that they are! The girls have an incredibly close bond. They have been asking when Maggie will be old enough to sleep in their bedroom with them. Even though we will hopefully be moving to a bigger house next year, I love the idea of the three girls sleeping together in one room. Bunk beds and a toddler bed? Why not!?
