new roommates

Kinsley's 7th birthday present was her own room (pictures to come soon).   Thus, Caroline and Hallie have become roomies.   We wanted the new arrangement to be special for them and we were bored to pieces of the old decor so we did a little update for them too.   Below are pictures of the most frugal redo I have ever done.  Just about everything was either found in our storage, craigslist, or clearance racks.   

The picture below perfectly captures why this arrangement will work.   There is no doubt that Hallie's love language is physical touch.  She is ridiculously affectionate and nurturing toward Caroline and it will be sweet to see these two grow their friendship as time goes on.   

 I was shocked that Ben got more weepy than me as he disassembled Caroline's crib.   He kept circling back to the significance of what he was doing.   7 years of baby memories.
