Grandma came to town

Okay, so it's been awhile since I've been on, but we have been very busy around here for the past week or so. Last week my mom came to visit, which is so fun and we LOVE having her here. Although, I'm not so sure this was her most fun visit. We put her to work and started putting the girls room together. Peyton will be moving in with Halli shortly after little Lexie arrives, so we had to get the room ready for both girls. We spent the first part of the week looking for fabric, I had my heart set on a pink and yellow room, and you have NO idea how hard it is to find those two colors together. Pink and green, Easy as pie, pink and yellow, not so much. But I think we finally found a decent solution and set to work painting. The girls were eager to help and they thought painting was really fun for the first two minutes, and that was it. I don't have any pictures of Halli painting cause she was being camera shy. But here are some pictures of ms. Peyton doing her thing, yes she is in her pajamas and looking kinda shabby, but don't we all when we're hard at work. :)

This is the semi-finished product. I found some really cute beds on Craigslist, that really weren't so cute when I bought them, but we cut out the middle of the headboard and then made some custom upholstery to go in the middle, and I have to say that I love them, and sitting at night with Halli reading bedtime stories is actually very comfy. The dresser was bought at a garage sale and actually came from Melanie Williams. It was a good find and I love the color, even if it seems a little bright. It'll go with the room when I'm done with accessories and what-not. Although, that could take many months to be done with that.
There is still a ways to go to get it all finished, but I love how bright and welcoming it is, and Halli really loves her bed. I think she's really excited to have a roommate soon too.

Thanks mom for coming and doing all that hard work with me! Hope you got to rest and relax when you got home. I know I've been very lazy these past couple days!
