Piper's Room Makeover

So we had a lot of fun changing Piper's room over to a big girl's room. Since we had to move the furniture out to get her new carpet, we only moved back in what we really wanted. We traded some baby items for more grown up ones, and she was very generous and shared a lot of her toys and too small clothes with friends. We sold her toddler bed to a nice newly divorced lady off of craig's list, she needed it for her DOG. And no, I'm not kidding. But she offered a nice bundle of cash, so after a minute's hesitation, I agreed. Piper giggled and giggled at that! I framed the "little miss muffet" original print from Scott Gustafson, we bought 6 years ago, and we love it! I also purchased a bookshelf to fit all of her favorite books...and it was still too small. We love to read!! Her Grandma Higley gifted her a beautiful new bedding set a few years ago, we were so excited to be able to use it!! It is reminiscent of the special blanket she made for me more than a few years ago...a beautiful blonde ballerina with a blue fluffy tutu.
She loves the ballerinas, and is SO big in her special soft bedding. It came with special little ballerina dresses and towels, and she carried them around for a week before she'd let me hang them. She also provided the baskets that organize her socks and hats, and the lovely blankets that we use. Grandpa Fogelquist helped make her dresser "girly" for her, and she's holding the speed boat that Grandpa Tidwell made for her and Monte. And all of our grandparents keep helping us fill up that bookcase and cultivate the love of reading that she has. We're so thrilled at the new, sometimes tidy room, and all the love that has gone into making it just perfect!
