Eden has been feeling very old to me recently. From signing her up for preschool and looking ahead to the school years with her, to her making her own friends and being so incredibly independent, I think when it all gets added up, I feel like we have a little girl who is growing up fast. I know, she is only four, but something about this time of life with her feels like she is really growing!
All that said, we have slowing been talking about changing her room from something that we had chosen for her as an infant, to letting her speak into her little space. Here is what her room has looked like before:
She has been really wanting more pink so with getting a big kid bed on the horizon, we have decided to slowly start making little changes to her room. The whole thing started with finding this quilt at Target. She fell in love with it...
So this inspired the whole rest of the little room changes.
We headed to Ikea for a pillow form and made a little date out of it:
We didn't find the pillow form size that we wanted but this little girl just loved this pink lantern:
So I had lichen from the cabin and this bird from our Easter decorations:
We turned the lantern into a bird house:
And it has proudly made itself at home on her book shelf
Here is this little side of her room:
The pink throw has become a new favorite reading blanket:
Then we had this shirt that she had worn when she was two that she and I LOVED:
So after cutting off extra pieces and making a few stitches...
After sewing the edges closed,
We had a pillow cover:
We stuffed it with batting and it now lives on her bed:
She is absolutely loving her room!
It feels like its her and she has such ownership of it all!
The next step will be to upgrade her bed to a twin.
I just can't believe she is 4 and growing so fast!
