Flip this Room!

As stated in my previous post, Leslie was in town this last weekend and we were busy. It was like Flip this House, only we concentrated on Reese's room. Now that she has the big girl bed, we ditched all the "baby" things from her wall and put up what we thought were slightly more sophisticated items.
The shutters (see below)...mirror which we just repainted, and two pictures from my college days which we got new mats for and hung up in the funky silver frames.
Leslie also repainted the letters we had when Reese was a baby and made them match the current polka dot design she has going right now. As you can see she LOVES her new room!


Leslie saw this awesome idea and we thought it would be perfect for Reese's room. Shutters! We can use the slats to showcase her artwork and the knobs on the bottom (our own addition) not only say her name but can also be used to hang things as well.

Her dresser is not missing two drawers they have been taken away. Those two drawers contain her shorts and shirts. Reese enjoys spending most of her time changing into as many outfits as she can all in the course of one afternoon. It's fun for her but the pile of clothes on the floor day after day drives me crazy. As soon as I put them away she pulls them all out again. So now the drawers live in another bedroom that has a kiddie handle on it preventing her from going inside.

Reese wanted to proudly display the artwork she has done more recently with finger paint.
