Finally...The Transformation is Complete!




I know some of you have been patiently waiting for the "after" pictures to be posted. The room is finally done! Obviously, things got a little behind schedule. We had a bed picked out at Nebraska Furniture Mart, so the plan was to go there, buy it, and bring it home. We borrowed Josh's brother Andy's pick-up and headed to Omaha. We found a salesperson, and she told us the bed was on backorder. So instead of borrowing a truck and spending the gas money to drive down again, we paid the $60 to have them deliver it. They also set it up so it was totally worth it. The bed was delivered on Tuesday, but we just got everything moved back in last night. Breck's bed is really cool and her room feels so much less cluttered. It is a captain's bed, so it has four drawers underneath to put all her clothes in and we got rid of her dresser. It also has storage behind the drawers that you can access from a door on the side. As you can see from the pictures, Breck has chosen to use this, not for storage, but as her own private reading area. It also has a huge bookcase headboard, so we put her books and all her little knick knacks on it. The shrine to Camp Rock survived and is still intact on her closet. The magnetic wall is kind-of disappointing. It won't hold very heavy magnets and you really can't put anything under the magnets. But, Breck has some High School Muscial and Camp Rock magnets that decorate her wall, so she seems to be happy with it. So far, Breck's new room is working out nicely for her! By the way, the neon green glow is not nearly as offensive when the room is full of stuff!
