As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, we have recently updated Mariana’s room. Our friends Carey & Traci had a beautiful twin bed that their daughter Allie had outgrown, so they generously gave it to us. Mickey’s dad (aka PePaw to the girls) is going to be building a play-house bed for Macey this summer, so we decided that this new bed should go in Mariana’s room since she was starting to get too big for her toddler bed. Well, she loves it! She thinks it is so cool! And, we do too! Although, it’s sort of bittersweet because it’s hard to think of our “baby” in a big girl room. Anyway, I have a few photos to show her room before and after, so here they are…
This is the only “before” shot I have. It was taken standing in Mariana’s bedroom door and looking into her room. You can see her sweet little toddler bed there.
Now, here are a couple of “after” shots. Isn’t her new bed so pretty in her room?
Another shot of Mariana’s new bed. I got her new bedding at Wal-Mart yesterday and we just love it. It’s so soft and sweet. I wish the sheets were showing so y’all could see them too. They are green with white dots. The whole set is really cute. I think it all looks so pretty and just perfect for Mariana.
Just for fun, here is one more shot of Mariana’s room. This is standing in her doorway and looking to the left. You can see her curtains and part of her dresser.
So, that is Miss Mariana’s newly updated big girl room. Did y’all notice how the dollhouse used to be a book case and now it’s not? Well, we’ll see how tidy the actual book case stays once she gets used to it being there. Right now she is doing very well with the “take one book at a time and put it away before you take another one” thing. I’m sure there will be a time when I’m busy and she’s bored, so the book case is sure to be a prime target at that point. 😉
