The Color Pink ~ Phase 1 of Hailey's Bedroom Redo

What girl doesn't Love the color Pink?!  How appropriate for Valentine's day...the cutest cards & cupcakes made by my precious daughter's!  And Red Velvet cake at that, my favorite!



What else is Pink?!  Great question...
With Hailey's birthday coming up this Sunday(Feb 19th, she turns 5!)...sigh, I decided to change up my "home projects" priorities and redo Hailey's bedroom.  Since the Tinkerbell theme as turned into a "busy" room full of mix & match decor with pink's & purple's...black & browns...and well, just plain chaotic!  We decided to compromise on just...Pink & white...and of course, a ballerina/princess theme! 

All I can say is, I had no idea what I was getting myself into!

Here is the before "chaos" room...embarrassing! Can't believe I took the only before picture with her bedskirt in shambels!


I must say...my sweet Lindsey will certainly miss her stuffed animal "hang out."  Now..where to put all of these stuffed animals that take over your house?  And if you're wondering what she has in her mouth...it's the stuffed bunny rabbit's leash that was required by Hailey.

So on with the "Redo"...   I let Hailey paint the first few strokes, so she could say that she helped paint her room..Pink!  Then it was time to lock the door & open the window to complete the painting. 

Because she wanted a Pink Ballerina/Princess theme...I decided that I would go out on a limb and paint a mural.  Someone suggested to get wall decals, but for some reason, my crafty/artsy side came out and I said, "instead of buying...why not just draw & paint it!"
So after 2 nights of graphing out my picture that I printed from the computer...and graphing on the wall to get the same proportions...the drawing started...





So tonight I painted the ballerinas one shade darker that my wall paint...
Hailey absolutely loves how it turned out...but now has requested glitter on them...ugh!  Well see...

The "After" picture...for now...


Did I mention I love her new bedding...and for Free!!  Yes, I love "even trades!"


So that completes Phase 1 of Hailey's Bedroom Redo!  Wondering how many Phases there will be...we shall see...

Finalized! ~ Hailey's Ballerina Bedroom Redo

I am totally singing the  HALLELUJAH CHORUS !  After months of contemplating Hailey's bedroom redo and realizing after I started that this was harder than expected with tons of DIY projects...it's DONE!!   Well, at least for now.  Possible that I will continue with cosmetic procedures later, but for now...here it is... Just a walk down memory lane... even though it's totally embarrassing with overflow of clutter in which I strongly dislike... Oh my...look at the bedskirt, lol!  Felt a tad bit sorry for Lindsey who thought she belonged with her favorite stuffed animals in the hammock.... But anyway, after painting her walls pink and hand painting sillhouettes of ballerinas...it was on!  I have been so greatful that God placed the perfect people in my path to finish Hailey's room with one of the Dance mom's, Jenna Pratt who exchanged a ballerina comforter set plus pillows and curtains for a video baby monitor...absolutely perfect! ...

Down memory lane - Winter 2013

If there's one thing I love most, it's snow days!! Down time with fun in the snow and hot chocolate, cuddles and watching some of our favorites like Toot & Puddle, Franklin, Little Bear, The Berenstain Bears, Olivia, The Backyardigans, Sofia the First...or any Christmas movie, especially the Polar Express!  We love snow days!!                                   Nothing better than waking up to snow and homemade fun. The girls decided to dress up our snowlady and chose Snow White after looking through their dress-up clothes...neither of them wanted snow white to melt....   After thawing out and a warm bath, Lindsey always enjoyed playing with her playhouse and would always holler for me to come find her and let me know she was in her house. She loved how she could fit inside and imagination play.... . Lindsey started getting a cold but continued to smile....I mean, who doesn't love that baby...
