The girls have shared a room since Lauren was born. Now that they’re 8 1/2 and 5 1/2 we thought it was time that they got their own space. Over the last several months Dave has been working to convert the guest room to Lauren’s room. It needed a lot of work – plaster walls, 100+ year old insulation in the walls, etc. – he tore it down to the studs and rebuilt the entire thing. And now it’s done! She moved in a few weeks ago and has loved it. I thought there might be tears on the first night, and there were, but from Sophie, not Lauren. Sophie has moved herself down to the bottom bunk in her room and put up a “knock before entering sign,” but has adjusted. We’ll be doing a redecoration job on her’s soon.

Here’s the final product:

As you may have guessed, the theme is pink, purple, and unicorns. In the second picture you can see the built in shelves that Dave made. It’s now one of the nicest rooms in the house!
