Tara's tape bunny she made after ripping off the paint tape.
The first coat of primer
putting on the fresh pear
Emily's cupboard
Tara and Emily have shared a room ever since Jacob arrived in our family. But, it seems there has come THE time to make a permanent evening separation. So, in order for both to have their own space, we made a few adjustments.
We moved out all the things in our storage room....yes, quite comparable to the cupboard under the stairs (but, a happy place for one little 8 year old.) There is enough room for the bed, 3 shelf bookshelf and dresser and trunk.
We have to still share the closet...but, seems to be less of an issue now.
Tara's room is now repainted (she does not prefer pink).....she chose "fresh pear". It was quite the ordeal.....they are all old enough to 'help' paint...so, I followed and directed and caught the paint as it dripped and tried to show my support and enthusiasm. Emily's comment the second day was "this is a much better day Mom, you haven't yelled at us."
The tricky part of the move was moving the desk from upstairs into Tara's room. We had to take the door off entirely, take the front drawer off the desk, then take the edging off the door and then shove really hard. It got stuck twice after that....but, we wiggled alot. Good thing we don't care about that end of the house.
Now at night, there many hugs and "I love you"s shouted across the hall rather than repeated shouts of "leave me alone!"

I love their rooms they are so cute. I would have been nervous about the "fresh pear" but it's perfect. You're the coolest mom.
Those rooms turned out so beautiful!! I know my girls really love having their own space. Great job guys!
