Bedroom Re-do

A week ago Friday I set out to rearrange the girls room. I've had paint and have been meaning to touch up some spots on the walls since Thanksgiving, so I decided that I should just do it while rearranging the room.

But when I started painting, I realized the color match was way off and I ended up painting the whole room. 

After rearranging the room, I realized we were in need of some uniformity. I think that's one of the tricks to minimizing clutter. 

Kayleigh and I made a trip to IKEA one day while Sydney and Kevin were out shooting people with their paintball guns. We found matching bedspreads and some pillow cases.

I also switched out the purple baskets with these boxes and thought it was an improvement.

But it still wasn't what I had in mind. So the girls and I made another trip to IKEA. 

I really can't believe the difference.

And without realizing it or intending to, I managed to match the ugly blinds that came with the house when we bought it. Now they look great!

I splurged and bought the IKEA boxes that fit this bookshelf. The girls love how roomy they are and were more than willing to store their "displays" inside them.

I know having a re-decorated room isn't all that important in the scheme of things...it's just fluff...but I really do like it and my skin doesn't crawl when I walk into the girls' room every day like it used to.
