ive been working on her bedroom for some time now. not, like, spending every minute in there. mainly waiting for the perfect pieces to fall in to place. ive been searching thrift stores for the final bits. perfect thrifted pieces are harder to find then brand new perfect pieces. right now, im looking for the perfect recycled nightstands as well as an adorable table and at least one more chair to make a tiny tea party area in her room. and her quilt that im making,,, still working on that as well. but for now, i wanna share my little girl babys bed room. last year my mother in law asked what the kids wanted for christmas, perfect, they want beds. they need toys like a hole in the head, so beds were perfect. i wanted to get her a bed that would last her for all of her elementary,middle and high school years, {even in to collage ~ yikes!!!}, so this is what i fell in love with. and the dresser as well. the vanity was my adorable mother in laws request, she seriously begged me if she could buy it for sofia, uh, yeah. of course you can. {i guess} *wink*. so, here it is,,,

i love everything about her room,,, but my favorite details are those she added all by herself,,, like this,,,

and this,,,

she needs a bed skirt, i know, i know,,,

i think its pretty cute for a four year old angel,,, dont you?!?!

over at nvs the newest collage is up, and, well, its rad. i loves.

so precious,,, right?!?!? here is my take,,, i used an older kit from miss thang that ive been hoarding for sometime now,,, i figure this was the perfect chance to use it!!! here is *in my wonderland*

love, ally

total mom moment here,,, bare with me,,,, ;-) sofias bed room make over is getting closer and closer to being *started*. yeah, as of now, all ive got is ideas,,, but we did order the bed. {excited}!!! and i think i have all the paintings that im gonna put up, and the wall decals as well. im hoping to start the painting process very, very soon {maybe this weekend??} oh, and her quilt, also a continued work in progress,,,, anyway, when elsie listed this painting for the haiti relief, i knew it would fit perfect in her room, not to mention, what a great cause,,, so, for the personal message, i still adore elsies signature, *take over the world and make it sooooo cute* thing,, so i had to go in that direction, but i wanted it to be personal, for sofia. so we went with *sofia, will you help me take over the world and make it sooo cute? ♥ elsie xxoo*. cute. the best part?? when i read to sofia what it said, she said *sure!!!!* :-) adorable i tell ya!!! shes excited to help elsie take over the world and make it sooooo cute!!! anyway, had to share!!!

she seriously hugged the painting!!! :-)
