Ashlyn's "new" room/our guest room

We have been busy doing some bed re-arranging the past week. We had decided to sell Ashlyn's white bunk bed set to some good friends with twin girls awhile back and replace hers with a full size bed. We started looking online for a set last week. We found a fun dark headboard and frame for a queen bed I liked that I knew I could paint and add some bead board too (a fun little project!) for only $20 on Craigslist. But we weren't sure if a queen bed would fit in her room and if she really needed a bed that big. After some searching, we decided to buy ourselves a new King-size bed since we have wanted one since we moved in this house and have a much bigger bedroom. SO we bought the headboard on Craigslist and gave her our old mattress set. We were able to sell our old frame/headboard/footboard on Craigslist this week and put that money, along with the money for the bunk beds toward our new bed. We got a great deal and love our new bed! Caleb got Ashlyn's old twin mattress, Jonathan got Caleb's old mattress, and we are giving Jonathan's old mattress to our friends with the bunk bed. The best news about all this moving around - we now have a guest room option! When family come to visit, Ashlyn will take the air mattress in the boys room and her room will become the guest room. My dad and step mom are coming in two weeks and will be the first to try it out. Ashlyn is excited for her cousin to move back and have sleep overs with her bigger bed. She made a cute video with her camcorder of her "new" room to share. Her headboard is not done so it is not in the video yet...enjoy!
