The Great Room Switcheroo

This is day. . .4 of the great room switcheroo ! We decided a few weeks ago to switch the girls rooms around to better suit them. Anna & Lizzy were in the same room and Emma had her own room. We decided to get bunk beds and put Emma & Anna together and Lizzy by herself. We came to this conclusion because neither Lizzy or Anna were taking their naps and they would keep each other awake and wake each other up during naptime :-( Plus, bunk beds take up less space in an already small bedroom! I decided to paint the older girls room first (green) before we got the bunk beds. I am a perfectionist and taped the entire room, washed the walls, patched the holes, etc. Both Emma & Anna are obsessed with pink and purple and I knew one day they would be sick of it, so it was perfect when I found the paint color!!! I am a bargain shopper and often look in the "wrong color" section of Lowes or Home Depot. So far I've found 3 gallons of paint that we are going to use to paint rooms in our house! You do have to be patient and look, but I got each gallon for $5! I've had bedding for Lizzy's room for a while, Emma didn't like it when we moved her into her big girl bed, so now it is Lizzy's new bedding (too small for an opinion)! Lizzy is now in a twin size bed, as you can guess it's been a rough 2 days for the Lizzy. We took away her sleeping buddy, put her in a new room and she is now in a huge bed!!! We bought new bedspreads for Emma & Anna's room that matched, of course I found them on clearance! We've bought shelves, new racks to hang things on and used other pieces of furniture in the garage (our storage room) to create their new room! Their rooms are currently still works in progress and I'll get pics up here as soon as they are finished, plus a breakdown on costs. . .I am so excited I was able to redo their rooms for such a reasonable price! So far, we've really only worked on Emma & Anna's room, today is Lizzy's turn while Jody is at work all day. My job has become cleaning out all the old toys (and junk) and Jody uses his tools to hang things, put things together, move furniture, etc.! Jody works all day today (7:00am-5:30pm) so I will work on cleaning out all the old stuff & putting it in storage in between breakfast, nap, lunch, nap & dinnertime :-( I'll be glad when all this is finished!
