Out with the Old, in with the New!

Well we spent the rest of our 4 day weekend cleaning out both girls' bedrooms, moving furniture, and giving the upstairs bathroom an update.  What a job that was.  I was so happy to go back to work on Monday so I could get some rest. 
Emily took our old queen size bed and gave Abigail all of her "little girl" furniture and we still haven't decided if we are going to put Abi's old furniture in the spare bedroom or just take it to the basement to add to the massive "old" furniture storage area down there.  Abigail has started sleeping on Emily's floor over the past several monthes just so she could be with her.  We decided to just go buy a queen mattress and give them a place to sleep together.  Now that Emily has the new bed she doesn't want Abi to sleep in her room.  All that work for nothing?  Oh well, I am not switching back now!
Emily has zebra curtains on 2.5 of her 3 windows and we are waiting for the last panel to come in so we can have Mawmaw Kaye hem them to the right length.  We need to get her a huge bookcase to consolidate all her little ones and we need to put some pictures on the wall and hopefully we will be done in there for another 3-4 years!  Abi's room needs a new ceiling fan (so we can get rid of the Tinker Bell one that is so 4 years ago).  Thank goodness Emily had a selection of old bedding stuff for Abi to choose from so we didn't have to buy new stuff for in there. 
The bathroom had a princess castle and frog theme and we got rid of all that and put in a Paris travel theme to go along with the "mannequin" Abigail purchase last month. It all looks pretty good to have come off the clearance rack at Sears!
New accessories-I slid them all to one side for them to get in picture together
