Room make over

In March Lisa will turn 7. What she really, really, really wants for her birthday? A bunk bed! She’s been talking about it for months. I found a nice (and affordable) one at Ikea. Actually it’s a loft bed, but it thank goodness it did qualify. I think it were the pink doors that did the trick 🙂 .
When I asked her if she would like to have this bed, she was so happy, she gave me a whoooooole lot of kisses.

We’ve decided to give her room a complete make over, so it will be really her place where she feels comfortable. So, I have some measuring and painting to do. Or actually a lot of painting. I would prefer the walls and the ceiling to have a nice fresh and bright white color instead of the Bellevue beige that’s on there right now (beige is a very popular neutral color over here, like white in the Netherlands). Other things I need to do are reupholster a chair, revamp a lamp and finish a wall decoration that has been lying around for a while now. So, plenty to do. Let’s start with some measuring and picking out the right colors.

To be continued….

That bed looks really nice, I’m glad she said yes to that one. From a mom’s perspective I love how much space it saves, and it looks like something that will last her a very long time. When the big sis is old enough I am looking at possible getting her something just like this, that way she can have her own room. Right now, her bedroom is really small and we are looking at having her and the little sis share once she is ready for a toddler bed. However, if she is anything like me, come junior high, she will be ready to venture back to a room all her own, and this would be perfect for the space we have. I wish you all the luck, I know redecorating can be both fun and over whelming.

Oh, I was so glad she liked the bed, because I love it and with the desk it’s much more useful than a bunk bed. Not really looking forward to all the painting, but if she’s happy with her new room, it’ll be worth it.
