sophie's room updo (from like, 2 months ago.)

So, I've been meaning to post this for a realllly long time...

as in, I did it back in May.  So ya, I did it a while ago.

But, anyway...Sophia needed something to house her growing book collection,

so I thought I'd help her out.

Also, I have a bit of an issue with letting things be the same too long.

Change is good, change is fun.

I had bible study at my house last night and one of my girlies said,

"your living room is different every time I come over...it's so...exciting!"

Loved that compliment.  And it is exciting...and nothing makes a creative crafter more happy than moving something from one place to another, getting entirely different results.

Yes, exciting!

You might remember Sophie's room from a couple months ago when I did my little house tour....(full tour link is on my sidebar).

Notice the lack of bookshelf?

I did a little switcheroo with a cabinet (?) I was using for a whole lotta nothing at the front door.  Doesn't it just look like it wants to be white and pink?
Doesn't she look like it's hurting her to smile?

Ok...moving on...

So, with S's help (of course), we have this little guy a makeover...

S. painted with her own brush on the very important BACK of the piece.

She was very helpful.

And this is what we came up with...

The inside is a super pale pink, outside is off-white then heavily distressed with my hand sander.

Easy little updo and now her books have  a home :)

Now I'm off to go price all my junk...wish me luck!
I really dislike having rummage sales...I kinda have knots in my stomach over it.

Ugh! Is it 12pm on Saturday yet?!!? 

:)

xo,
