Emma Claire's New Bed

So this is what I've been up to this week! We have been talking about moving Emma Claire into a twin sized bed but we hadn't made the big move yet. Last week a friend of ours was getting married and getting rid of some furniture so he decided to give Emma Claire his bed, mattress, and box springs. How exciting! Emma Claire was beside herself when they brought it over. The only problem was that the headboard was black.


So, I took on a little project. : )

First, 2 days of stripping and scrapping all of the thickly coated black paint off.


Next, sanding and scrubbing until both of my arms nearly fell off.


Then, finally getting to add the first coat of stain....

 After a week of work finally it was DONE and I LOVE it!!!


Isn't it beautiful!? Now that she has a new room why not change up the decorations, too, huh? Emma Claire has had the same decorations in her room since she was born. I think she deserves it!  Pictures to come soon!
