Emily's New Room

Our "New" Guest Room

We redid 2 rooms over the last couple of months at home. The motive behind everything was to get Emily moved into her big girl room so "Thumper" will have a home in the nursery in a few months. And Emily is old enough and was ready for a bed. Her new room is our old office so the office had to be relocated downstairs into the guest room. We decided that since that is one of the few rooms left that has not gotten a fresh coat of paint while we've lived here (5.5 years now), it was due for one. Everything was white, but we chose to go with an "apple crisp" color. We like how it came out and were able to move the furniture around a bit and put my sewing/scrapbooking table in there, our bookshelf, and the file cabinet. Fortunately the stuff that had to go in there was more storage related and not a big desk that we didn't have space for. It did take us a bit of time to go through all of the office stuff that had to be moved.

Once we got the guest room re-situated, we were able to start on Emily's room. It was repainted from the green color we had originally used in there and then the furniture was set up. Since we had extra space, we moved her dollhouse from downstairs into her room to give her something to play with in there and to make some more space for her toys from Christmas and baby related things that will be invading her playspace downstairs.
