Me, Myself, and I...

Aren't these bedrooms scrumptious?

Design inspiration from Rachel Ashwell's love-ah-ly, but oh-so-expensive site.

Elizabeth and I have shared a bedroom for the four years or so that we have lived in this house. I love her dearly, but...truthfully, we aren't the best of roommates. She doesn't care for the way I like everything put neatly away, and I don't care to see the belongings (okay, treasures) she likes to line up on her dresser or the many, many stuffed friends she like to decorate (*ahem* bury) her bed with.

A family member just recently gave us a brand new bed and dresser set they didn't want anymore for the *someday* when Elizabeth would be able to have her own room. We had been hoping to convert our laundry room into a tiny bedroom for her. She's always been longing to have her own small space, but the way things are going that wouldn't be a possibility for quite a long time.

But...Sarah to the rescue! Coming home from shopping with Mama a week or two ago, we were shocked to discover that Sarah had moved Elizabeth--bed, dresser, belongings and all--into her room. Wasn't that nice of her? Elizabeth is enjoying sharing a room with her, and likes it almost as much as if she had her own room. As for me...? I'm in heaven, simply heaven.

I'm having so much fun re-doing everything. Things are still all out of sorts, and nothing is really as I'd like to keep it...but it's ever so heavenly to have your own room! And I can still tiptoe down the hallway and into Elizabeth's room at night when she's fast asleep, and kiss her on her soft, sweet-smelling cheek. So...all's right!
