We finally got around to remodeling Megan's room. For seven years, she has been housed in the "nursery" with the baby wallpaper and lots and lots of writings on the walls. We spent a good week scraping off the 15-year old wallpaper. Another week of patching up holes and painting. And yet another week shopping at Ikea for new furniture (Alan's LEAST favorite thing to do in the world). Anyone who has shopped at Ikea knows the furniture is cheaper because you have to put it together yourself. Alan and the boys were able to put all of the furniture together last Saturday, and then Megan, Melanie and I organized and decorated. For such a small room, I think we did pretty well. And as Megan pointed out, SHE IS NOT A BABY ANYMORE...SHE IS A BIG GIRL!

I love her lace curtains!!! Love, Love, Love them.
We made a reading/guinea pig/stuffed animal/ doll area under her bed decorated with cute lights from Ikea. I am not sure why on her dry erase board she has written "worst day" on each line. Seriously Megan, what is that about?
She is so excited to finally have her own desk!
What room is not complete without a shiny purple comforter?

Her room turned out so cute! Well worth all of the work involved to get it that way, I'm sure!! Her room is almost as cute as she is:)
When did she get so grown up? (Love the area under the bed!)
Megan's room is so cute. You all did a great job. What a lot of work, and it looks really good!!
Awesome. Maybe I should just hire you to come do our house so I don't have to.
So cute, and kudos for Ikea shopping and assembling. I've tried to go into that store a couple of times and walk out so lost and frustrated : )
So which boy gets his room done next?
Cute room. Kara wants to come and see it. Did you buy the shelves above at Ikea also?
What a cute room!!! Takes me back many years when Russ built Cassie a loft bed! she had the same ear to ear grin as Megan!! Great pics!!
That looks like girl heaven!! When you are the only girl, you deserve a room fit for a princess!
