DI Project

So, my wonderfully talented and amazing friend, Kathryn, found this little gem for me at DI. I have mentioned her decorating and painting skills before, I have not mentioned her mad skills in finding and refinishing furniture. Just one of her many talents. Anyway, she was scoping for good finds and found this bed for Madi. I should pay her a finders fee, but since I am buying things from DI.... well I'll just have to baby-sit for her more.

BEFORE


AFTER

I sanded and primed and primed and primed, and Ryan painted and put together. It turned out so cute!


Madi LOVES her new bed! She was also super thrilled with getting to pick out Hello Kitty sheets! The day we got it set up the kids and I were gone and Ryan got home from work a bit early and got it put together, sheets on and everything! (Love him!) He even had her "purple blank and monk" and Hello Kitty sitting so cute on the bed. (Seriously, love him!) We got home and she was SO excited to see her new bed all set up. After her bath she got her jammies on and hopped right into bed! I had to convince her to get out to brush her teeth and say prayers. She was just so thrilled. She woke up at some ridiculous hour of the morning, which I wasn't exactly aware of, and came and got in bed with me. She slept with me for a bit, (this is quite usual) then woke me up to tell me, "I'm ready to go back to sleep in my new bed." And she did. She has loved sleeping in it and she loves her Hello Kitty sheets so much, she does not want a blanket over them. Love my Madi girl. Love Ryan. Love Kathryn. Love the DI.

A Much Better Week

This has been a much better week- Madi is feeling good and happy again, Pierson is doing awesome riding his bike and loving it, happy kids, happy Mom.

Kathryn, my very fabulous-amazingly-talented-friend, who I don't know how I ever lived without, helped me make this...
...I absolutely love it and it looks so cute in Madi's room. And it cost me less than $2, thanks to Kathryn's help and "extra stuff". Nice.

And Ryan brought these home for me...
...so beautiful, so sweet, and the best part, FREE. He won them in a drawing. Way to go Babe.
