Last year when Katie went away to summer camp, I did a complete remodel of her bedroom as a surprise to her.
This year it is Haley's first year to go away to summer camp. Haley is the youngest child in this house and she generally puts up with the hand-me-down clothing, the left over furniture that no one else wants and she has the smallest bedroom in the house. We really wanted to do something special for her this year, so we updated her bedroom a little. She has no idea, so we are looking forward to seeing her reaction to this surprise.
It was a lot of fun working with Katie and Kylie on this little project. Daddy did most of the painting while I supervised ;). The girlies and I went all over town looking for discounts, using 50% off coupons and seeking other thrifty deals to get the best bang for our buck. Katie and Kylie are surprisingly gifted at coordinating decor!!! Haley used to have grey paint (left over from when it was Tim's office) and no wall art on the walls. It definitely looks a lot more cheerful with the new paint color and it really suits our Haley-Bee's happy disposition. Don't forget this is a SURPRISE. So if you see her before I do, don't spill the beans!!! Here are a few pictures of our little 2-day project.
