Girls room! finally

I finally finished putting the girls room together (well, sort of now that I see it in a picture I need something for the corners of the room). For Ainsley's second birthday we moved them into shared rooms (with a bit of an adjustment period for both girls and Mama who was very very sad to see the crib go in the attic...ahem, not sold) I was planning on sewing both quilts but fell in love with these pottery barn kids quilts. I curse that store, sigh, but really the cuteness is unbearable. I did however paint the room, and made the picket fence along the back wall to act as a large headboard. We used the divans we got in the UK for frames, they come on rollers and can be pushed and locked together if we ever need a spare spare room for guest, say Thanksgiving at our house 2011 :) I ordered twin mattresses and not twin long mattress that about four inches too short for the frame (who knew) so I had to make those brown polka-dot foam headboards to make up the difference.
The girls are happy and settled. Ainsley loves being a big girl, and Ella loves having someone to wake up with in the morning. 



Pete and Penny the owls! As I painted E would say, "I dont want a tree in my room!" and then I got to the owls and she said, "Oh, well I guess you knew the owls needed a place to sleep!"

My father made both girls these step stools on their first Christmases. I had one just like it from my grandpa that  I carried everywhere, I love how they fit so well in their room.
