Before.... Dark blue ceiling and two pink walls and two blue walls. Also a really old light fixture and old blinds.
The walls have been primed in the picture below.
Arlee was such a good helper whether it was keeping Lydia occupied or helping paint a little she was so helpful.
The new light fixture.
AFTER...........
We went to Target and get the decals for the walls, The pink coat hooks we kept from the previous owners.
We bought the pink lamp @ Target
The curtains were ours from the town house that we were in before. They never had doors on the closet before and we have not decided which ones we would like to go with so we put up the curtains that we are no longer using. Plus they match pretty well.
The bedding, A-R-L-E-E letters, photos we already had. We added the valance, blinds, lady bug canvas and changed out the plugs and cover to white. I have to say that I am a bit jealous on how cute her room is. She loves it too. At first she wasn't happy that we covered up the blue ceiling and PINK walls, but now she doesn't even care. She loves her room.
As you can tell she is more than happy to show it off. TA-DAH!
While we were in Salt Lake in November we got this picture of the temple and framed it. It reads, 'If this is not your Castle than you are not my Prince.' Arlee loves to look at it and imagine when she will get to go to the temple.
Close up of the photos that were taken when Arlee was 6 months old and the letters that have helped her recognize her name anywhere that it is.
Kind of dark, but the valance ties the room together nicely.
Finally the Bathroom- that we have not done anything too really. We put up the decor that I already had. The colors worked so well together too. Red, Green, Yellow, Black and White.
I love how older homes have so much storage. The bathroom has so much too. In the closet there is a laundry shoot, which we use instead of a laundry basket. Love the idea, but I hate putting them in there when I change my clothes. Talk about lazy, I know!
The closets are two baskets deep. I have had these baskets for two moves now and they have served their purpose in a few different ways. Got to love reusing the same stuff to execute different ideas of storage. Makes me happy.
We love our place and the things that we have been able to do. I will post more pictures as we get stuff put together. Stay tuned.

Miss you guys!
Love Arlee's room, it turned out super cute!
Just saw these. Maybe I need to turn the notification thing back on?
Anyway, thank you for your comments. Saimi, you need to come over pronto. My girls miss you. Arlee mostly, of course. She looked at Ken on Sunday and said, Mom look it is Ken Saimi! Seriously, lets do a get together after I get back in a week. No excuses and we hopefully won't be sick. :)
