Big Doin's: Surprise Room Makeover

With Samuel starting school in just a few days

I felt the nesting crunch,

{yes, you still nest after the babies are done a'comin'!} 

and dragged him to the girls room for an

impromtu room makeover.

While the kiddos were busy watching a movie

we hauled everything around,

dismantled their bunk beds,

moved toys to the boys room,

and re-hung all the artwork and...

Voila!

Sheer, utter, pandemonium!

They LOVED it!

Not to be outdone,

Owen wanted a picture of his

new-to-him toy bin!

Awesome, Owen!

Sweet dreams, everyone...

What a little white paint can do...

Going through the blogosphere

in search of how to make a zipper-less pillow cover,

I hit upon a great sight,

Vintage Revivals,

and fell in love with this mural tree tutorial!

I had a total

"I can do that!" moment,

and yes...

...within minutes I was on a ladder!

Check out the blog for details,

including how to project the image on the wall to

get the tree just right.

As for myself,

I'm a wing-it kind of gal

and chose to tackle the project free-hand style.

Either way,

the finished project is spectactular!

We added a few simple touches to personalize her space,

{ Don't you LOVE printers? }

and...

Ta-da!

Not bad for a few hours of work!

...

Now back to those pillow covers...
