A Sneak Peak

Here is a peak at the girls' bedrooms. I'd still like to purchase Sophie a dresser and Madeline a bookshelf, but the lamps arrived providing enough light for me to take photographs (my cameral flash has been broken for at least a year), so here are some pictures of the bedrooms in progress. Sophie has requested new bedding in pink tones, but she's quite happy with this for the moment:

Sophie was very specific about the placement of her birdhouse and butterflies, just FYI. I may have selected somewhere different, but her choices seem to work out o.k. It's just a rental (aka: temporary) after all. ;)

Madeline's room isn't that different than her old one, except that she doesn't have to share it, and she has a new lamp. We both really like her new lamp. Yay for Target! The curtains came with the house, and I really like how they cast pink and green hues on our rental-white walls.

This is our neighbor. He is really nice and six years old. The girls have spent many hours at his home, and he has spent many hours at ours.

I found these shelves in our storage room; they use to be used in our shed. I don't love the look of the playroom, but the shelving/storage is a big functional improvement.
