Charlotte's New Big Girl Room


Note:  Click on pics to make them bigger.

Well after 3 months we finally finished Charlotte's new room.  Really it's been done but we decided to do the chair rail ourselves.  Not easy.  That's what's taken forever but Praise the Lord she no longer has an air compressor and nail gun in the middle of her room (yes, we unplug it when not in use!).

When she saw her bed she said it looked like her brother's.  So when I told her it was her big GIRL bed she insisted, "NO, it's a BIG BOY bed."  Oh Well.




What really makes the room so special is that the loveseat was my great grandparents on my dad's side and the bed was my grandparents on my mom's side.  The little play table was my mom's when she was growing up!  The lamps were also my mom's but I remember them in my room when I was little.  The wall hanging with the pink border (in the background) is a calligraphy saying that my Aunt Sharon had made for me when I was around 12.  This room is full of history.  I love it!








I love her laughing in this one!




This last picture is special because the wall hanging bordered by red is a Noah's Ark cross stich with the alphabet made by my grandma (dad's mom).  I think I have a better picture of it on a posting from December.  We've always called our great grandparents "super grandma" and "super grandpa" and they surely are. 


 
Finally, a million thanks to my mom's friend Debbie Gregor for lovingly caring for the loveseat for 10++ years until I had room for it. :)
 
Don't tell the kids but we are going to see Super Grandma and Grandpa for Thanksgiving.  Connor is going to be soooooo excited to ride on an airplane.  We can't wait!
