The time had finally come for Melissa to get her big girl bed. We had been unsure how things were going to pan out for having another child, and the set she was using had the crib turned into a day-bed, which she had come to be nearly the full length of.
Here are some "before" pictures of her furniture:
(yes her room is a mess... that is how she likes it, she is a clutter-bug - she certainly didn't get that from me!)
The white cardboard box is a "house" she played in for a few months.
(I should of taken some pics of it before it was collapsed. It had a door & windows and lots of art lovingly displayed all over it.)
Her make-shift desk, she loves to do arts & crafts... but so often the desk was such a mess that she'd end up using the floor. Hopefully this won't happen again on the new desk :P
After finding out the furniture was on its way, Melissa & I spent the prior weekend going through her stuff in her room to have a bit of a fresh start. In the process I moved out her bed & she slept on her mattress on the floor with this tent over it... just like camping!
She wanted some pics of herself sleeping in it...
Couldn't keep a straight face for long :)
The next weekend the bedroom set arrived! We got busy and assembled it right away! This was the first night getting ready to sleep in it...
Her new desk...
and chest of drawers...
There is still some decorating that needs to be done... we need to find the right bedding set, and some decor for the walls. I'll try to post another picture once we get the final details all together. I'm also documenting the changes that are happening here in the baby's room, which is currently my office... I'm getting the boot! Right now I'm surrounded by baby furniture, and have yet to move out.
