Update on Sarah's bedroom makeover

We've made a few changes in Sarah's bedroom over the past month.   We found out fairly quickly that the shelves over her dresser were too short.  She had more books and little sentimentals that she wanted to display than they allowed for, so we changed them out for longer shelves. 


New shelves

Old shelves

Here are some cute little things she has on her new shelves.  She's an elephant lover, so they take up some serious space.

 

 

 

 

We also changed the location of her painted canvases to a smaller wall across the room. 

We did this so we could add a picture wall all-collaged-together.  We've been thrifting frames with cool details and edges.  Painting them white brings them all together.  Sarah chose her favorite pictures to display here. 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a quote from J.M. Barrie, the author of Peter Pan. 

 

 

 

This little elephant picture was drawn by Sarah's cousin, Shiloh Krantz when she was in elementary school.  It was found when Shiloh was going through all her saved school pictures, projects, papers when she was getting ready for her high school graduation party in June.  She decided to give it to Sarah...(yes, the perfect kind of gift). 

 

 

 

This proves it was good, it was chosen to be part of the art show way back when.

 

 

 

The blank frame in the upper right is for a family picture that we're planning to take in October when my oldest daughter, Emily, drives home from Colorado for a week-long visit. 

 

So, as most things go, change is inevitable.  I like to change things up from time to time (way more often than my husband likes) and make them look fresh.  I can appreciate a picture, a flower pot, a bookcase, or a cushy chair all over again.  

 

These changes to Sarah's room look great and put a big smile on her face (mine too!).  And, when another change is needed, I'll be ready and willing.
