Carol's Corner: Grandbaby room... for Brookie.

Thursday, December 18, 2008

So my mom's b-day was this last week. Since she watches Brooklyn often, she has been dying to have a place to put Brooklyn down for a nap that was away from loud noise and also a place where she could play on soft carpet. As a surprise gift, my dad took her to Payson overnight while Brad O., Jessica, Mary, my Brad, and I completely cleaned out and remodeled my sisters' room into the "GRANDBABY" room in my mom's house. (Christi and Kelsey get home Tuesday from BYU and are in for a surprise!)

Friday morning we cleaned out, dusted, vacuumed, and dusted the room some more. Then, around 7 that night when everyone was off work, we began the big job...painting the room ! Her sage green chair was our inspiration piece and we thought choclate brown would be a good contrast. So yes...she came home today, totally loving it and totally surprised! YAY! We had fun, but are all tired after staying up til 4:30am in the morning. How the heck do shows like "Trading Places" redo rooms so fast. It took us forever (9 hours), but looks amazing I think! Love you mom! Happy bday!
