This year we decided Everlee was ready for her BIG girl room. She was too big for her toddler bed, and was becoming more responsible and independent. We wanted to create a space where she could grow as a young lady. We also wanted to give her an area of privacy so she could have an area to play with her toys on her own, with friends, and also with Mommy and Daddy. We found a white sleigh bed and dresser which gave her plenty of storage for the toys she didn't use quite as often. We created a bookshelf to house her favorite books and photos of the family. Since this was her room, we wanted her input when it came to the color. We should have easily guessed she would say "blue". Luckily, the fabric Mommy picked out months ago correlated with the blue paint swatch.
Everlee adapted to her new room with ease. At first, she wanted to play with the train table and dollhouse Santa Claus brought instead of climbing into bed but it didn't take too much convincing when she realized there was a much larger bed awaiting her. It is hard to believe she has reached this stage in her life in what seems to be such a short amount of time. It seems like only yesterday we were putting her crib together, waiting for her arrival. I hope this new stage won't go quite as quickly.

The dollhouse Santa Claus brought Everlee. She has spent
hours playing with the dolls and putting the whole family to bed.
Everlee's sleigh bed which has nice large drawers to hide
all her unused toys. MiMi also made the bedspread and pillows.
Daddy painted a tree on the wall to help go along with the
Owl accents used to decorate the room.
The plaque was from Friended so Everlee would always
remember to be brave, smart, and strong.
A shelf full of books is always a must.
