A simple project, or what I thought would be a simple, cheap, fun project, is still in the works. Dan bought us a new bedroom set and bed and Katelynn inherited our queen bed. How many 5 year old's do you know that have a Queen size bed? Well, she is lucky and she isn't; the bed takes up a lot of play space in her room. Her bunk beds and the dresser that went with the crib set all packed into his room. I thought about painting the room, but that seemed like a lot of work and she didn't really express any interest in any color that she would want to change it too. I believe it was around her birthday in September when we started on this project. I just finally got Dan to hang the shelves up (because I only purchased them a few weeks ago). It seems nothing is "cheap" to do anymore either. The bedspread alone was $80.00 at Target. Really, for a kids room, seemed a little on the expensive end to me when you can buy an entire bed in a bag at Bed, Bath and Beyond for that. Anyway I will give anyone looking a good piece of advice; the wall stickers that state they do not stick on textured walls, don't stick to textured walls. So take a look at the headboard, we actually bought at Lowe's which is an actual piece of fence. The stickers are on a clear sheet and then that is stuck to the wall and we weren't able to save the sticker that had her name on it. We are still working on the butterfly and dragonfly stickers on her wall.
Here are a few of pictures of the bed.

She does love the bed and likes that every once in
awhile mom or dad will sleep with her in it. |

Junior had to have a picture too! |
