Ashley's Room - Before & After

Ashley's room before:Ashley's room after:

This was really a labor of love. I can't believe that it's all done. At times I never thought we'd get it done before Christmas. We made it a big surprise for her on Christmas morning. It was really neat. I had a lot of help from a great neighbor on the quilt and Nate hung all the bead board and trim. He even did some painting, which he hates. There's a few more things I'd like to add to it, but they will come in time. Ashley loves it and has tried to keep it really clean because it's so pretty.

Making the pillows was my favorite part.


Here's the video of the first time she saw it!

Thats a way cute room! I love it! And such a neat gesture to make another blanket for her birth mom.

You can tell, that Madison is the kids boss - running in first. :-)

Cute video!

Jen, her room looks soooo great. I can't believe you made the bed spread and the pillows. It looks a lot like Jadens - I love pink and black. Great job, I'm impressed! We need to come see you some time soon!

How did you keep her out of it till it was done? Tierra's is pink and black too, it's ageless.
I can't believe I'm so far behind on your blog! I thought I check everyone's as they do them, it must have snuck by me! We got Blokus too, I love it. My boys are addicted too.

I wish we could have seen you. Parker sure does love his baths. That is my kind of bubble bath. Glad Christmas and all the traveling went.
