Olive's New Bed

Olive transitioned out of her toddler bed before Christmas and I finally took some pictures of her new room!  Yes, she was a five-year-old in a toddler bed.  I'm a firm believer in if-it-isn't-broke-don't-fix-it.  She never complained and the smaller bed meant more floor space to play.  But she did want to redo her room to a space theme, so it was a good time to change out the bed as well.  Olive picked out her new bed, bedding, and wall stickers.  She wasn't completely ready to get rid of the owls, so it is a space owl theme. :)  I was sad to say goodbye to the ABC mat.  Every night she would lay out her clothes for the next day with the "O" as the head.  I have lots of memories of that O.  Anyway, Olive was SO EXCITED for her new room.  She loves her bunk bed, especially since it means every weekend she has sleepovers with Hannah.

Before pictures

We found the bookcase for free on the side of the road.  Steve added a board to make it into a desk.  Olive calls it her office.  She is always writing to drawing something...including drawing in sharpie ON the desk.

After pictures

She liked this duvet cover because it had facts about all the planets.  And her sheets have little stars, planets, and rockets on them.  They are flannel and super comfy!

It took us about a year to finally hang up her solar system, but it is finally up!  And they glow in the dark. :)

I thought we should take the canopy down, but Olive wanted to keep it.  She calls it her purple rocket ship.  She is constantly taping things to her wall.  It is so cute how she wants family pictures to look at every night and morning.
