Since Grace is turning 3 on Sunday, Scott and I thought that she should move into the front bedroom where its bigger so she could have the furniture we bought for her a year ago. Who new we would be afraid to put her in a taller bed. She slept in her toddler bed for a year and we thought it was time. So we moved the guest bedroom upstairs- so anyone coming to visit you'll have an entire guest suite with newly remodelled bathroom (thanks to Scott's brother Ray). My craft area came down to her old room along with my home office from the dining room. Scott and I moved furniture and things around for 5 hours to get it done before she gets home. My back is killing me- but its worth it. I can't wait to see her face!
Last Monday I had a thought that since her room is going to be bigger and so nice that she needed a chandelier- one with pink shades and crystals. So I started my search on craigslist and came across one for $20. It was not by any means the prettiest thing I had ever seen. But the detailing on it was amazing and my brain started to go on overload. A can on white spray paint later and it looked like an entirely different light. I went to Michael's crafts and bought the beads on strings and just added hooks- and bought teardrop crystals on ebay to match. Pink silk shades from the lighting store- and BAM! we have a princess chandelier. When I was at the lighting store I did see some of the ones they had- can you say expensive?? They had one on sale for $159- but it wasn't even as nice as the one I have. So yes, I am pretty proud of it.
I also decided to cover a lamp shade with Grossgrain ribbon and pibnk flowers- just to jazz it up a bit. I only burn myself 4 times- not too bad for me and glue guns!
