Remember this room?
It's Kendyl's room. Unfortunately, we've got a bedroom shortage on our hands with a new baby coming. I suppose we have a bedroom in the basement, but we've converted it into a playroom and there's no way I could disband that. So Kendyl's about to get a new roommate.
Anyway, it all started with putting Kendyl in the dreaded "big girl bed". I tried to put it off as long as I could, but it was time. I'm happy to report, she's been in the bed for a couple weeks so far and hasn't dared get out of it ONCE! Naps and all! What a relief. To top off all this big girl stuff, she's now wearing panties to bed also. She's not about to let her big sisters leave her in the dust :)
Obviously a remodel was in order. Nic's view was "who cares, the baby won't care if he's in a pink bed". but.....he wasn't too hard to convince otherwise. So here it is, the gender-neutral hippo bedroom. The twin bed frame is probably 30 years old and each of the Sellers children had their turn with it. I called dibs on it a while back :) The paint job was a joint effort (obviously Nic did a bit more then I did). And for the record, I almost cried when we painted over her cute pink walls and the cute little flowers with white paint. My mom and I created the valance together. I will miss the cute little neapolitan bedroom, but this one is super cute too...very different! I'm glad it's all done. I'm ready to be project-free and just relax for the next couple weeks. Ya right, who am I kidding with these 3 maniacs running around :)

I would hate to cover that pink paradise too! But...the new room is perfect. It is really cute! I am glad you are project free and ready for baby. Try to enjoy...
I love it Steph, very cute. You guy's are way to handy around the house. SO what are the tricks to getting your little on to stay in their big girl/boy bed.
That looks so great! You guys are way too good! I love how it looks & its perfect for both of them. Hope you are feeling "ok". I've hit the uncomfortable wall & I'm so done!
We have such talented grandkids, what great jobs you've done with the "new ones" rooms. Our kids were all so deprived as they grew up. No cute rooms for them. XOXO
