N and M's Room

Maggie's Big Girl Bed
February 12, 2012
2 1/2 years old

Although she looks quite solemn here, she was very excited to have a big girl twin bed just like Natalie.    I just really like this picture of her that Dusty took with her name fuzzy in the background.  Perhaps she is thinking about what her future in a big bed with hold.  We bought Natalie's twin bed set from a friend of mine and later purchased a new mattress for Mags after we found a simple metal frame and boxspring in like-new condition off of Craigslist.  The bedding I got on sale from Company Kids and sheets from Target.  

Dusty and I painted their room before we moved in.  It was white, like every other wall in the house.  Dusty made a chair rail for it.  I wanted to pick colors that the girls both loved, yellow and purple, but liked this combo I matched from Martha's paint combos.  I did decide to paint the girls' names in their favorite colors though.

 The room isn't complete just yet.  I'm still looking for a mirror for above the dresser and for something else on the "name wall."  I also need to update the picture frames.  The dresser we got from Dusty's parents and the lamp is from TJMax.  

I have finally found white curtains for their room although I didn't have them at the time this pic was taken.  I love the picture of the two sisters in the back.  It says trust in me on it.  When I look at it, it is my hope that the girls would be great friends and have a loving, trusting relationship.

There are great conversations to be shared in this room.

Will there be a third roommate one day?  We'll see.
