i can't believe it took me this long to take some pictures of alyssa's room. we re-did her room for her birthday … which was almost a month ago. before this, she had a sports room … sad that i don't even think i have a picture of it. it was darker colors though … blues, greens, and touches of red. so she was ready for a change.
this is the bedding she picked out … found it HERE. she loves all things polka-dot … so thought this would be a good pick. we picked out some paint to match the lighter aqua dots … and grammy came and painted the entire room as her gift to alyssa. i can paint … and have painted this entire house numerous times. but my mom can crank it out so quick … she primed and painted the room in under 6 hours.
i wanted to get her some super big bulletin boards to hang up. she likes to put posters up on the walls. but before … she had tons of them all over … just randomly pinned up. it just looked cluttered. this way, having the boards to put them on … just sort of contains them. she only has a few up so far … she has lots of photos and things she wants to add.
we decided to flop the bed and the large dresser to opposite walls. i actually like it so much better. just looks better when you walk into the room … the bed always looked lonely in the large corner of the room. her dad got her a desk and chair as part of his gift. she has wanted a desk for a while now. she gets very distracted by the kids when she does her homework downstairs … and i have been telling her she needs to find somewhere more quiet to do it. now she has a spot. still need to find some large baskets or something to put on the shelves on the desk. i was eyeing a nice one that had some large drawers … but she wanted this desk instead.
i think she liked this desk … because it came with this small bookshelf! i'm still convinced the desk should be in the corner by the closet … but she's not buying my design ideas. lol! she also used some of her gift card money to get a large white board to hang above the desk … and another bulletin board to put by the closet to hang up awards and ribbons. i asked her why all the ribbons were hanging at the bottom … and she said it was to make room for the new ones she'll be getting. lol! she knows she's a winner!
this was what she was most excited about … the window coverings!!! her room gets the brightest sun super early in the morning … along with our bedroom, which is right next to hers. and she hated it. as much as she's a morning person … that amount of sun so early in the morning just isn't fun. so she wanted something to cover the windows. she has these side curtains pulled shut ALL the time … which sort of bugs me … because they look better like this. lol! funny thing is … now that the sunrise and sunset times are changing … she doesn't get the sun anymore. lol! this morning she tells me that "just when i get the curtains, my room is always gloomy now".
and i get so overwhelmed just looking at this board when i go in her room. lol! guess she's a busy girl … with all that stuff to keep track of. i'm not sure she needs all that written down .. and so big and crazy. but she keeps this up to date … and is always changing things as they come up. gotta love a girl with a schedule!
