Room progress

Well, the girl's room re-do is taking a tad bit longer than I had hoped. I'm sure it would be all done if my painter still painted and I didn't have to do it myself. It is hard to paint the room when the only free time I have is when A is sleeping in the same room. I also have sooo many projects to accomplish! I am trying to do something each day, but even that is not going as planned. I hope to paint today when my sister is here watching the girls. We will see how that goes. I did empty out A's dresser so I can move it downstairs, but it is really heavy and I'm not sure Victoria and I can move it all the way down the stairs. (I see a hole in my wall or something as it slides down the stairs running over one of us.) I think we are still going to try. Who knows, I might be stronger than I look.

We did drive out to IKEA the other day to pick out a new light fixture for the room.

This is the one the Mommy B wanted. It looks better in person, and lucky for me since I also bought a new fixture for the dining room with new shades, I can use the old dining room shades for this one. I will have to add some ribbon to them for they are plain white and that just won't do. See what I mean about projects?! Hopefully my dad will come over add help install the light. I can do it, but I have a feeling he will be faster.

I did also buy the mattresses and a new dresser for A's clothes. I will pick them up on Saturday so that is my new goal. I don't think I will have the duvet covers finished by them, but perhaps the valances will be finished and hung.

The girls are so excited about the bunk beds that I will feel bad if they can't sleep in them on Saturday. But then again I have felt bad before and have lived to tell about it.

Off to work on a valance...
