What has been taking up all my time

I finally got the big sister room done.  I'm pretty mad I don't have any before pictures.  I must have thrown them away because they were so bad.  This room used to be the catch all junk room (we have a couple of those).  It had two big ugly desks, nasty carpet, and a built in book shelf that I'm sure was sweet back when it was built 30 years ago!  

After a months worth of weekends, forgoing a trip to Colorado with friends, and me crying at Ikea (they didn't have the beds in the right color).  This is what we ended up with.  By the way I am happy (don't send your sympathies).  I ended up making the duvet covers because I couldn't find anything I wanted, everything was white, and I didn't want to be washing every other day.  I haven't put anything on the walls yet.  It's so hard for me to poke holes in walls I just patched.  The bookshelf has since been filled in with toys and stuff, and the walls are blue, but they look almost white in these pictures.  To my back are two closets for even more kid junk I don't have to look at.  

Most importantly the girls love it.  Even the youngest wanted to sleep down there last night, until we turned on the Barbie night light that projects Barbie's profile on the ceiling, that "freaks her out"  (she's 2).  O keeps telling me what a good sleep she had last night.  S just informed me that she is making a list of people that can go in her room, so sorry if she can't spell your name.  I'm feeling a little more ready for the alien in my tum to come out now that I have an empty bedroom upstairs.
