Room Reveal

We redid Lily's room.

Lily doesn't like change, and didn't want any part of doing away with anything in her room.  She must be growing up, 7 in June you know, because she agreed in the winter to have a room make over.

And make it over we did.  (Check out the Room Reveal photo gallery to the left.)  We revealed it to Lily on the weekend (see videos below) and she loved it.  She must have said a couple of dozen times how much she liked it, and was very excited to sleep in it that night.  She has to jump up to get in bed, but that's part of the fun.  She gets up early now to read, and will sit in her new reading chair for 1/2 an hour before calling us and saying she is up.

We did a lot of the work ourselves, everything except painting the walls and covering the reading chair. 

Louise designed the look of the room, picked all the colours and fabric.  I built the bed (Bed and room - before and Bed - Mar 21 photo galleries), Louise did the valances, painted both dressers, the quote boards, and the sign with Lily's fiddle song.

We had a ball!
