A Bedroom For Little Miss

i have been promising you photos
of my daughter's redone room
for, like

evah

and i'm so sorry
it has taken months to post these

i must confess
that we actually finished
Little Miss's room
during the Christmas break

however

when i tried to take photos
with my little point and shoot camera
nothing turned out

so i had to wait until
my new camera arrived in the mail

which it did this week

and then my pal April
from Holistic Homemaking
came over for ice cream
and a little dslr tutoring for moi

are you prepared
for some icky before photos?

i'm pretty sure

Little Miss herself

actually snapped these pics

but unfortunately

they do tell the tale

of a room badly in need of TLC

now

let's all cheer up a bit

whilst we look at the afters

shall we?

pink was the requested hue

for the walls

and i went for the palest shade

i could fine

so as to avoid that 'pepto' feel

these books and bobs

are lined up on the old mantel

here's a vintage typewriter

that Miss bought at a yard sale

with her own money

and uses to type up stories

and newspaper articles for her self-published paper

though lately

she's done less clackety-clack typing on this

and moved over to her very own blog

even

 the dollhouse family room

got a little rearranging

though i would like

to paint her furniture white

it was handed down 

from hubs' grandmother

and i don't think i'm allowed to (yet)

so there you have it

an ugly duckling room

transformed

into something very sweet

for my Little Miss
