A couple of weeks before her birthday, Olivia decided she wanted her own room so the only option was the basement. She was so excited to move down there. I made her stay down there a week or so before we even moved any clothes down, just to make sure we weren't going to just move them back upstairs. But she LOVES it. So for her birthday, I locked her out of her room for 2 days and got to work. Its not completely done, but we painted her wall in aqua stripes and built a headboard out of an old door I saved from the house before it was torn down at the greenhouses. And I bought a chandelier and painted it. I think all those things turned out great!! Can't wait to finish the rest of the room and put things on the walls!

The finished project:
Livi enjoyed birthday crepes and then had a friend "fish" party and swam. Needless to say, I think the birthday was a success this year!
