The Fairy Garden Princess Palace

Ladies and Gentleman, Drumroll Please....We have *finally* finished Josie's big girl room! 
Here are some photos from her new room - complete with full-sized bed, lack of changing table, and lots of other big-girl upgrades.  She calls it her "fairy garden princess" room and you will soon see why.

But first - the "before photo" -

That's right; For much longer than we care to admit, Josie was sleeping on a blow-up air mattress on her floor while we decided what was next.  In the end, we decided to go ahead and convert her crib into the full-sized bed and the rest of the plans just sort of followed from there.

And here are the long-awaited "after" photos -

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here comes the fairy garden princess herself - who spends quite a bit of times in a tutu and wings these days -

Lou had her laughing about something, which yielded some great super-smiley pics. I love these! And for some reason, she looks so grown-up in them (which I don't love, but what are you gonna do?)

 

 

This is Josie's surprised/excited face, which she perfected at Christmas but still uses when the mood strikes her - 

 

I'll also leave you with a few photos from around the house over the weekend. As I said, this little lady is obsessed with tutus and in this case - tutus and rain boots. The best is that she says, "Check out my fashion" whenever she puts together a little get-up like this one.

Here she is admiring a couple of the "posters" she made that we hung on the wall. Also pictured is her trike that she now zooms around the condo riding. Look closely to see how she has plastered it with stickers.

And finally an action-shot of our little fairy mid-spin.

...Oh yea, still sporting the rain boots.
