Yawn.

I'm tired. That's all. When my daughter was 9 months old she started sleeping through the night. When she was 11 months old she had hand surgery and has not slept through the night since. I was warned there would be a regression, but that sounds like an understatement now. Pray for sleep in this household please.

Bedroom face- lift

As promised... the photos of my new and improved bedroom.

I did this project while my husband was in China. It helped distract me from missing him and left me feeling very accomplished.

Sadly, my before photos are very old and show very little detail for comparing. I should have taken pictures before the make over. Still, I can share what changes I made.

Before

After

I patched up old holes and painted our room a warmer color. I rearranged furniture. I bought new picture frames, linens, lamps, and curtains. I made my own headboard and put together a bookshelf. All in all, I worked very hard and I am very pleased with the results. Our room was boring, cold, and drab before. Now it feels warm and inviting. It's a grown up room.
