We're all done!

I took this picture of my living room on Thursday. I have just had so many projects going on lately. Unfortunatly the rest of my house pretty much looked like this too. Shown in this picture is the new treadmill that Shane bought (we'd just brought it in the house and we needed to clean out a space for it). I also have my sewing table out where I am sewing a quilt for Brooklyn's new big girl bed, which is also shown in the picture...it is the pile of wood on the floor.

Like I said before, the whole house is a mess. These two pictures are before pictures of Brooklyn's room.

Here is how her new bed looks in the room. I should note that the quilt on Brook's bed is NOT the quilt that I am making. I did not quilt this, a lady in our ward did for our wedding. I put it on the bed as a temporary, because I have not finished the one that I am making. (At the pace I'm moving on the sewing project this quilt might be a permanant addition).

Here is the after shot of her room. We still have to put her bed back against the wall, but we wanted to let it dry a little bit longer before we did that.

I love the way the purple looks against the window. Like it just came out of a Better Homes and Gardens. Unfortunately it also makes for a dark picture.

Here's Tyler, he wanted to pose for me.

When we started painting the primer on the walls, Brooklyn wandered in and said "Oh! it looks ssssoooo BEAUTIFUL!"

And while we were taking off the tape just now, she says "I love my beautiful PURPLE room. It is wonderful!" I've never even heard her say wonderful before. I guess she just saves that for the really special things.

She also told me that now all she needs is for me to paint some Princesses on her door. I guess I'll have to get right on that.

As a small side note, I just watched Dan in Real Life (while the paint was drying and the kids were napping). I really liked it. I'm definately recommending it.
