If you would like to visit us at home over the next few weeks, we request that you politely call us in advance. We’re not in visitor-mode right now because our house is a disaster area.
Avery’s playroom is scattered throughout the rest of the house because we’re tackling the last major item on our summer to-do list: painting and redecorating the playroom.
We’re making the playroom into Avery’s new bedroom. She is outgrowing her toddler bed, so it’s time that she has a big girl room. When we asked her what color she wanted to paint her new room, she originally said, “Purple with pink on top.” Well, there was no way we were complying with that request. So we convinced her to go with purple only. We thought four purple walls might be a bit too much, so we went with three purple and one white.
The painting went very well last weekend. Now we’re in a holding pattern as we wait for the new carpet to be installed…on Sept. 6. That’s a long time to live with this mess in the house! So in the meantime, we’re going through everything that was in the room and the closet (which was a nice storage area for a lot of random things) and purging things we don’t need. Then we’ll sort and reorganize everything before we move things back into the new room. Watch for more pictures soon!
