Girls' Rooms

While the girls were in Birmingham last week, we made a few changes to their rooms. Mia's room saw the most changes as we changed out the nursery into her "big girl" room. We put in a new bed (the bed was mine growing up too!), took down the valence and put up a curtain and added lots of cute decorations. We made it into something of a nature theme, and it looks adorable. Mia was so excited when she saw it! She kept looking around, pointing to everything and going "Oh!" Last night was her first night in the new bed, and though it took awhile for her to get to sleep, she slept very well and stayed in all night. Here are some pictures to show her new room:

This is my favorite part of her room. We put up stickers on her long wall that looks like a tree with animals and flowers around it. We added the little Ikea bench seat to look like a park bench under the tree. It holds her stuffed animals, and she loves it.

This is the owl pillow we found at Target. Love it! Of course, Mia's Glo has to be nearby too!
We also found this picture at Target; isn't it cute?

Both girls love the butterfly finials we put on the curtain hold-backs.

The other half of Mia's room. Doesn't it look great?!

We also made a few touch-ups to Lily's room so she wouldn't feel completely left out after seeing Mia's room. FYI, that didn't stop all the whining of "but she got the lotest!" We're working on learning that sometimes people get things and we don't, but we're always grateful for the MANY things we do have.

We made Lily's room into more of a butterfly theme; she loves butterflies. We put the new butterfly sheets that Liz bought on her bed, and we added cute wall stickers around her picture. It's difficult to see in this picture, but there are a few 3-inch tall 3-D butterflies there too. They have beading on them, and they are really beautiful. Lily loved them.

We put a couple of little flowers near the floor between her bed and door.

I left Lily's coloring of a business woman on her closet door; she was very proud of this piece because she said it was me. I couldn't take it down!

This is the other piece of Lily's coloring that I left up on her closet door. She was very proud of her cat drawing and that she had written our names on it.

I added this garden on the wall near her doll house.

The other corner of Lily's room. We didn't change anything (other than cleaning up the books and games), but I wanted a picture to document what it looks like.

I can't believe I have two big girls now!
