Alyssa's Room Makeover

Alyssa had been asking for her bedroom to be painted for awhile and since I had an extra pair of hands up here, Auntie Robie, I decided to take advantage and put artistic hand to work. 

I let Alyssa pick the color, purple, which she was so excited about.  While painting and some discussion we decided to put Tinker Bell on the wall.  Now for everyone who knows how I'm not a fan of cartoon items for clothes, decorations, etc. this was a little hard but knowing how excited it made me little girl and to see her face when it was complete who cares!

The room needed a little more to finish it off so a tree was added to the corner and we hung pictures from the branches.  Alyssa is in love!  A great surprise we had was my mom and I were having a discussion and she wanted to get her bedding etc. for her room.  Since we still had her in her toddler bed buying sheets etc. wouldn't be as easy since it was a crib mattress.  She suggested I take my old twin bed for her and that her and my dad would bring it up.  Perfect solution!

They both came up that weekend and delivered the bed along with numerous other items for her room.  It is now complete and I have loved the fact that Alyssa has kind of taken on this new role as to wanting everything clean in her room!

My Mom and Alyssa had a little slumber party in her room.  They did their nails that night together and we all hung out and watched a movie before going to bed.  I think Alyssa thought it was pretty cool even though my Mom was a trooper and slept on the floor.  Not sure I would hve done that just because Im old! Ha!

One of my favorite things to do with the kids is read but now I love being able to climb into her bed and read to her and snuggle comfortably!
 
She has been enjoying her new room and showing it off to all of her friends and family!  Knox's room is now underway so if anyone has a spare twin bed laying around let us know!
