Princess Sparkley's New Room

In December we took apart the bunk beds Princess Sparkley and Buddy have been sharing since January 2007 and moved Baby X's crib into their old room with Buddy. Princess Sparkley moved into Baby X's room that also doubled as a storage area for the boxes of books, framed pictures, and outgrown baby clothes that we aren't using right now. The first few weeks in the room, half of the room was still boxes. We've spent the last week getting more organized, buying bookshelves and cleaning up. Here is the end result:


She got this canopy for Christmas.
Her desk in the background is still a mess.





She and Daddy worked something out so she could get this fancy lamp. He was going to get her a plain one for $9. She wanted this one for $18. So he paid half and she paid half and she got this cool lamp. It makes her room a little pink too.


Baby X loves to climb in her bed and hang out now. Mainly, I think he's thinking he's a big kid and should be freed from the crib. His mom isn't so sure.

We still need to get a shelf up in her room for her to put knick-knacks on. Basically if the surface is flat, within minutes she's got it covered in stuff to display. But it looks very messy and cluttered, so we're trying to come up with a good solution for that.

I also need to hunt down her bedskirt. We didn't use it when they were bunkbeds but now we have the bed up on risers from IKEA and shoved a bunch of boxes of books and framed pictures under her bed.
