Everyone's hard at work on Karlie's room

Kyle started working on Karlie's closet a few weeks ago. One of his long time friends, Kevin Passons, ordered and hung her new doors for us.





The top picture is Kevin working hard. The second one is the doors hung and ready to be painted.

Next came taping off the room to be painted. That was I job that I could do without having to climb on too many ladders or hurt myself. Here I am...


Sunday Nana and Aunt Tracie came over for a long day of painting. They did most of the work so that the I didn't have to smell the paint for too long or climb on a ladder. They were a little upset that I took pictures of them while they were hard at work, but I reminded them they were for Karlie! We painted the bottom pink and the top, ceiling and closet tan.



Aunt Tracie even managed to get some on her!


Tonight Kyle hung the rest of the chair rail. There's still some touching up to do and the closet doors need another coat of paint, but here's a little sneak peek.


Hopefully this weekend we will put the finishing touches on it and get her bed and dresser up with all of the bedding.

Now that the closet unit is in you need to take a picture of it with all of Karlie's clothes in it. Who knew she would have more clothes than her Aunt Tracie.
