River had her old crib still in her room….I had changed it into a day bed….it was mostly a stuffed animal bed! I had been contemplating taking it down for awhile. …but couldn’t figure out if I wanted to or not….then I saw that ALL Simplicity cribs had been recalled, all makes and all models….and we had a Simplicity crib….it said that all cribs should be returned to the store where you purchased it…..so that made the decision easy for me! She loves dress up and we needed a place to put all her dress up stuff….so we dragged an old chest out of the basement…..
And of course it needed a coat of paint! And of course River had to help paint it!
Which of course, made things a bit more interesting…she wanted it painted then and there…and was very upset we didn’t have any pink paint…she had to settle for baby blue. I promised her that during the summer we would paint a beautiful pink design over the baby blue…..
By today, the chest was dry…so we took down the crib and moved in the chest….of course, we had to rearrange a few other things…and read some books in between and play with Barbies here and there…and get out all the stuffed animals….vacuum out the cobwebs……you know how it is…..
But finally things were all back together…and River seemed pretty happy with her room…..
Hi. I love how this chest turned out. I love turquoise lately 😉
