Pretty in Pink.

Last week my sister and I took Thursday and Friday off work so we could paint and redecorate my niece’s bedroom.  She’ll be 4 in December and it was time to update her room and ‘Princessize it’.  She loves pink and everything and anything to do with princesses.  She is a girly girl who loves to wear skirts and spin around so she can watch them spin out from her.  I love this little girl with all my heart.

Thursday we painted and had the whole day to ourselves.  My sister is my best friend so we had a total blast.  With life being the crazy ride that it is we don’t get to see each other enough so it was absolute bliss.  I am a crazy fan of pink.  I love it and thought the room looked so perfect all pink.  My sister, however, felt like she was locked inside a Pepto- Bismol bottle and had to fight back a panic attach.  Relax, I told her.  It’s all about your little princes.

I spent the night on Thursday night, sleeping in the master bedroom with my sis and niece; her super cool husband crashed on the couch.  Those of you who read my blog will know that this means my poor sister had one of the worst nights of sleep of her life.  My husband, at home, had one of his best.  Go figure.  

Friday we decorated and I had the best time ever.  If I had a little girl this is exactly the type of room I’d do for her.  It turned out so great and her little face all lit up and smiley was just what we were hoping for.  She was thrilled and just loved it! We put her toys in really neat tubs so her toys could be separated and easy to see.  We attached princess decals to the wall over her bed that are peal and stick so if she decides to rip them off, they can be moved anywhere in the room.  Also, check out the cool butterflies.  They are 3 dimensional and look like they are fluttering up the wall.  

 

My husband and I don’t have any children of our own so when I get the opportunity to do something like this it fills a void.  Painting and decorating for a princess - two days of working our butts off, getting to go home and drink wine with my husband in our kid free home - priceless.
