Hardy Family: Samanthas Room

This past labor day weekend. I decided it was time to get our little girls room D-O-N-E!

We have had all the wood for the past year just sitting in the garage. So it was not going to cost us anything. I had already ripped the floor boards out, and painted the walls pink.

However I thought about changing it to green with yellow and pink. Now that I got my little girl into Minnie Mouse...I thought a Minnie mouse theme would be PERFECT

(she is not girly at all)

So I am sure this will not last past the age 5!

Before:

As a little girl I always admired my sisters room, she had a "window seat", So this window seat was a must have. My kids LOVE looking out the window to see what friends are playing at the park. Or just to look. However this "project" happen to have very little wall space to work with, this wall made NO sense. Why not make it have potential and usable space. Shelves came to mind...Since Sam is not girly, Russ figured this is going to be a great idea for her trophies!

After:

In our old house, I had to have a window seat as well.......Its just a "girl thing"

... so this project has been in my head for over 5 years...However it just did not work out in our old home with the additional shelving.

I added some ribbon bows to her name, I wanted it to look a little like Minnie Mouse.

If you know ME, then you know SAMMIE, she is JUST like me.. and WE are Beautiful in our own way... When I found this saying "Be your Own kind of Beautiful"

(I have always lived by this saying.)

Have your own look, be YOU and not what other people want you to be.

I thought of Sam, she is her very own kind of beautiful. and I love that so much about her. She is something else!
