Big sisters room



We've been a little busy lately with some remodeling and moving furniture around and here is what we have to show for it!! I am in LOVE with my girls' new room and so are they!! Mark and I worked long hard hours on the painting/ paneling/caulking/ and more painting with some much needed help and direction from Neal. Poor Madelyn was kicked out of her room and lived in our closet for about four nights until we could get everything finished. But she didn't seem to mind when we got her up on the Saturday morning and showed her her new "big girl" bed and room!! Kali couldn't wait to finally be sharing a room with her little sister and have her new purple bedding too! So the adventure begins! So far so good with the whole big bed thing with Madelyn and with the sharing a room plan. She LOVES being a big girl and has been doing great sleeping in her new bed and with the whole potty training thing. Why do I feel like all of a sudden my baby is no longer my baby anymore?!! So sad how quickly they turn into this little person and become so independent. I guess it is time to start getting ready for the new baby girl that will be joining our family in February :) We did move all the baby furniture into Kali's old room that will now become the new baby room. That will be our next project but we decided we will just paint :)

Kari, it looks adorable! I love it!! You guys did an amazing job! I am so happy that Kali loves sharing a room with Madelyn. That is so sweet, and the timing could not be more perfect with Madelyn's potty success! It is so hard to let our sweet little ones grow up. Good thing another little girl is on her way :) love, MOM

That looks sooooo good Kari!! I love it! Btw, I don't think I have ever mentioned how much I LOVE the family photo at the top of the blog and the kids individual shots on the sides. So darling. You seriously need to model as a family. Seriously. You could make so much money.

I LOVE IT! It looks fabuloso! The boys did a great job on the panels too. Such a cute room. Plenty of space too. Great job, the letters are perfect too!
