Ailee's Room

There is so very much to do to get ready for our big trip to China and we are barreling through our to-do list!

This past March we were very fortunate to have my Aunt and Uncle come down to help us tackle a few projects around the house. One of the projects we tackled was redoing the closet in Ailee's room. The closet had sliding doors and very little usable space, so we built a simple closet organizer/drawer system and added bi-fold doors.

Last weekend we got started on getting Ailee's room painted and ready for her arrival. We emptied her room of the piles of things that had accumulated in her room and got started on painting the closet.

Big sister, Maelyn helped Mommy paint...



Silly Maelyn!
 

This weekend my Dad, sister, and I painted the actual room and it was fantastic to see colour go on the walls!!

Now for the next fun part -- decorating!! :)

Ever since finding out we were headed to China earlier than we had thought, I have been dying to get started on her room. I don't know what it is -- but it is really important to me that her room be ready for her when we get home. Painting Ailee's room and seeing it start to come together has finally made her upcoming arrival in our lives feel real.

Stayed tuned for updated and finished room pictures in the next week...
