Well, for those of you who have been here before, you're probably familiar with Jaycee. She is my go-getter, adrenaline junky-to be, dirty, muddy, intelligent, adventurous, frog and worm holding, tree-climbing, dancing, cheering, in-your-face four year old.
This post is her updates.
You might remember her room from my Daddy Built Loft #2 post or as the messy picture in the top of my The Kind of Home We Live in post.
We changed her dresser color and added new drawer pulls.
And I made her a new curtain out of some sheets from Target. And we took down the polka dot and princess stickers and put up "Forest Friends" stickers. Also, we found the cabinet at a garage sale for a dollar over the summer. I was planning on painting it the same color of green as the dresser drawers. But, for now, I was changing her room around and needed to know where it would fit. We decided to put the dresser and cabinet under the loft to create a "hidden" storage space behind them. I found a stick-on "chalkboard" sheet that I put on the front of the cabinet for around $2-$4 at a craft store and thought I'd try it on the cabinet. It was actually the perfect size as-is. But, it was kind of a pain in the booty to get it on straight without any bubbles. But, she seems to enjoy it! Now, I just need to find dust-less chalk.

She put the blanket up to make it more like a private fort! Kids and their forts.
Future Fashionista Quote of the Day
"Mom, you should just cover the entire house in paper, so we don't get paint everywhere."
After I told her that she couldn't paint right now because she always takes the mess to the next level. And after I told her that maybe she would be allowed to paint if she could just keep it on the brush and the paper. . . instead of her arms, the table, her legs, the chair, her feet, the. . . .
Yeah. Let's cover the whole house in paper! My little "live-out-loud" girl!
