Hey! Hey!
We got another room checked off our to-do list. I’ve been meaning to share it forever and by this point Ebby Lee has added her own personal flair. You’ll see what I mean. Just wait for it. 🙂
Our home was built in 1998. We bought this house about two and a half years ago and pretty much need to update everything. We’ll get to it all eventually and I have no doubts the second we’re finished with the last room, it’ll be time to start all over.
The bedrooms upstairs are tiny, which doesn’t really bother me because I’d prefer the kiddos to be hanging out in common rooms…living room, playroom, etc. The only kiddo of mine that will go upstairs and play in her room is Ebby Lee. She plays quietly, she keeps her space super organized and just how she likes it so I’m all good with that. {And I think she likes having some space where the boys aren’t! haha!}
She will turn nine in just a couple months and we’re right in the middle of those learning to become independent days. There are times when she leaves the house dressed in things I wouldn’t put together but she’s figuring it all out, so independent, and I’m trying my best to give her the freedom on things like this that don’t really matter. {So when it does matter, I can shut it down. Know what I mean?} And I should add she did her own high ponytail yesterday that looked AMAZING! She’s growing up! And I’m so proud of this girl.
This was what the bedroom looked like when we took our first peek at the house…
See what I mean? Teeny tiny!
When we rearranged the kiddos’ upstairs, we did it with every intention we’d have a boy room/girl room and then a playroom. But at this point, Britt is sleeping good in the crib in the guest bedroom so I’m not rocking that boat.
This is Ebby Lee’s door. 🙂 #herdecoratingflair
This picture is kind of dark but when I had the blinds open it was too bright. Out of my kiddos, Ebby Lee is my NEAT ONE! I walked upstairs yesterday to find her room like this. I didn’t have to pick up a thing. We got her bunk beds because our kiddos very often all bunk up in the same room. Typically Ebby Lee and Bowen both sleep on the top-feet to feet and Nixon sleeps on the bottom bunk.
She plays school all the time so the dry erase board and chalk board are very important features in this room of hers.
She wanted the banner to say, “E and B” for “Ebby Lee and Britt”.
I think it’s hard to teach kids how to make their bed and it look good anyway, but a bunk bed takes it to a whole new level.
Most of her bedding and furniture came from Pottery Barn, along with this canvas. I also got some pieces from Target.
And the puffy flowers on the wall are all from Hobby Lobby.
I love the way it turned out, but probably what I love even more is how she’s made it her own. This room does exactly what a bedroom should do-it showcases everything that is Ebby Lee. It’s girly, fun, and sweet. I love that!
To see other rooms we’ve completed…
Our plan is to complete a few things in the boy room next. I’ll keep you posted. 🙂
