Lucy's new room is getting closer to completion. I finished stenciling the alphabet border today. Now I just need to go back and do some touch ups. Stenciling is way harder than I would have thought, but if we redo Lucy's room and the new baby's room every few years I will be a pro by the time it comes time to paint Fighting
Illini on their walls for their 18
th birthday. I will post completed pictures once it is all put together, but here is what I have so far.
This is the bed Lucy picked out at
IKEA. We have gone to visit it several times and it is so cute to see her lay in it and say, "Go night-night". We went today to pick up the sheets. That way they are all washed up for this weekend when Ray and Linda come (they are buying Lucy the bed for her B-Day). I like the
IKEA showroom floor, because it allows the kids to test out the beds. The other stores lost out on Grandparents Browns money because they had their beds hung on the wall.
I purchased this night stand today from
IKEA. I love having somewhere to put my stuff and big girl Lucy needs a place too.
This is "Mommy's chair" that will go in Lucy's room. Right now we sit in the rocking chair, which Lucy calls Mommy's chair, to read books. I still want a place to sit, but want to leave the rocking chair in the nursery. The chair doesn't look like much, but it is actually really comfortable. Also, it is light weight, so I can move it next to the bed easily.
The bed is adjustable length (short, medium, twin) and twin size width, so standard toddler bedding does not work for it. With that in mind, we will use solid sheets especially made for the
mattress, a pretty purple cotton woven blanket on top, and a Dora pillow case.

Lucy really wanted to join in on the Daddy/Daughter dance.
