Okay, so after three days of cleaning, organizing, sorting, and shopping I am done!! I took the kids to Wal-mart yesterday to pick out their fabric for their "curtains." There choices were...well, let's just say...interesting. If you look carefully in the picture above you can see Joe's choice--a sheer, rainbow piece of fabric that you can see right through. He says that he will just change behind the Webkinz. Hannah chose a 70's style daisy print that matches the bed nicely and her personality. Of course it doesn't come close to matching Grace's fabric or Joe's. That's okay though. I love the eclectic/tacky look. :0)
Grace has chosen "Under the Sea" as the theme of her bed and so her fabric choice reflects that. She has also made a few sea creatures that she has tacked onto the wall. If I were a perfectionist I probably would have cut off that white edging part and hemmed the bottom but I'm not. The. End.
The girls and I went to Ikea today with Ms. Amanda and Landobaby. We were pleasantly surprised to find that we could have breakfast for free when we got there. Weekdays from 9:30 to 10 you can eat breakfast for free. We had eggs, bacon, hash browns and coffee. Then we walked the entire store and went back to the restaurant for some of the famous Swedish meatballs. Yum! Oh, and besides eating we also bought some lamps for the bedroom. Grace's lamp is a starfish--don't even say that it looks like a nighttime star because it's not--it's a starfish that lives "under the sea." Hannah got a big flower and Joe got a gigantic ball thing that I thought would be oh so cool but instead takes up nearly his whole "room." Oops. That one may have to find a new home. Maybe in the playroom... I also found a nice reading lamp to mount on the wall for Grace's bed so that she can read at night but I haven't gotten it up yet.
And, with the addition of "curtains" and lamps we are officially done!! I am so pleased with how everything turned out.

I love that giant ball!!! Can I hang that over my dining table? :)
My girls both have those flower ones and love them.
I think the whole room is perfect! I do have to laugh at Joe's fabric choice. Not at all what I would guess he would pick.
We just bought the giant ball for Anthony last week. I'm bummed we went in the afternoon and missed free breakfast. I may have to go today now that I know that. The room looks very nice.
