The culmination of the BIGGEST project ever attempted by yours truly!
Click on the pics to make them larger.
The re-painted wicker dresser, w/ some things to hang on the walls at a later date.
(HEE!! HEE!-Yes, that is my feet in the picture!)
The cross stitches were done by Dave's mom for both girls.
The Holly Hobby stuff (from my childhood) will be re-done to match their room.
This was the picture frame on the dresser in the above pics,
made over into a bulletin board.
One side will be Ana's & one side will be Ruth's.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE CROWNING JEWEL!
Eventually, there will be a bunk bed in this alcove,
when Ruthie is big enough for sleeping on the bottom bunk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is a bit more to do, but, for the most part, we are DONE w/ the re-decorating is done!
Now, on to organization of Nathaniel's room!
YIKES!!! Only a few days left!!!!

Edited to ADD: Tickets are booked!
Shannon (my sis), Ana, Ruth & I leave at 6 AM on the 23rd.
We return w/ NATHANIEL on the 26th!

I love the alcove for the bed - too cool!!
You may not realize it... but you're "nesting"! :)
A comment I once heard was that a biological child grows in your tummy but an adopted child grpws in your heart...
I am praying for traveling mercies and instantaneous bonding for all of you.

Stacey-you are so right!
I AM nesting, but the funny thing is, the girls I already have are the ones that are reaping the most benefits fron my "nesting," not the new baby! ;)
All his room neeeded (since it was the girls' old room & was already green) was to get rid of the girly toys & bring his clothes in!
Hi!
