The week after Christmas L'il C was at her dad's. So Brad filled the random holes. Then Brad, my mom, and I worked dilligently to Kilz (2 coats) and paint (2 coats) her walls, the trim, the ceiling, and the doors white. This took forever because inbetween each coat we had to wait for drying time.
Then I washed and ironed her new sheets. Yes ironed--because they looked like a crumpled heap of wadded paper! I made her bed and then added the ladybug wall stickers. After that I had to buy new rods to hang her valance and curtains because the other ones weren't long enough.
I still have to buy her new white dresser and mirror and nightstand. I am also going to buy wooden letters painted red, white, and black that spell her name for her wall but it definitely looks so much better now! I am sorry I don't have 'before' pics.
She loved it all when she got home but I think her most favorite part is the lamp by her bed. She wants it on ALWAYS and won't let me turn the regular light on. ha ha.

I am currently living in a sea of pink. (Well, anywhere my daughter is concerned. It hasn't leaked to the rest of the house or anything.) This post makes me hopeful that the pink phase one day shall pass. :)
