One of the things on my "To Do" list for the summer was to redo Olivia's room. I was planning on using our old double bed frame and go from there. After finding that the double bed mattresses were ruined.....I figured her room really wasn't big enough for it anyway.
So I decided to find a neat iron headboard or something like that. On a whim, I stopped by a new antique store, The Green Bean Exchange, and found this...
I was so excited because it was a steal!!! After I bought it, Livi and I made our 2nd trip of the week to Home Depot (one of my favorite stores) and purchased paint!
Since Matt was out of town, I had to do the refinishing during nap-time or after bedtime. I was going to paint flowers on it, but after I painted the trim, I liked it simple.
We then went searching for the right spread. I brought a couple home, but we both liked the flowers!! Here is Olivia testing the bed out before I had slats in it! :)
Now I have put the slats in, re-hung her alphabet picture, and hung the flowers above her bed. Now that I look at it, I will be tweaking a few things (flowers are too high), but wanted to share Olivia's new room!! We will add the boxspring later and I may even raise the bed. Now, we just need her to SLEEP in there. She is still in our bed, so pray that this will SOON end!! She is very excited about HER bed and room.....too bad she doesn't want to sleep in there!
