A room re-do, someones growing up.....


 Mimi has wanted some of her baby things as she calls them 
put away NOT given away this she was very clear on....
 I love all these sweet little things...
 so we started last night on a slightly less baby room re-do.
 These are all before pictures I guess I just wanted one last look
 Its hard when she's our last baby at 7 1/2
and we have a 12 1/2  and soon to be 17 year old
time flies and now I know too fast.....well we made a deal
to use only what we had....and heres what we found.
 Remember my garage sale butterflies.....
 and a friend had given me a sheet of reversible owl paper
and we had these fun frames that I had already painted
so we framed it....
 moved her dresser so she has a little vanity area now
perfume only....she has started a little vintage
avon bottle collection, she has 3 now.



 On Sunday her Grandma gave her a quilt she had made 
out of scraps....I wish I could have picked up some of this
sewing capabilities!!


remember this room that we just did in 
August well it got a re-do also Will share that tomorrow
we have been busy!

    Mimi must be pretty happy with her room re-do! :-)

  9. Oh the grown up room looks great! How cute that she is already a collector, that is a great collection for a young person because they can be picked up so inexpensively!

  15. I do like Mimi's new room. I'm glad she wanted to keep her old things ... that's very sweet.

    I was shocked to read that Marilyn's daughter is 41 and now middle-aged! I'm 40 and I'm is denial I think! Ha.

    I love everyone's comments on this post. They're all quite sweet.
