A new look for Emma's room!

Yesterday, my mom and dad drove over from the valley to spend a few hours with Emma, the birthday girl. My mom, Emma and I went shopping in Bend for new bedding for Emma's bed. My dad was the the chauffeur and happened to be ever so patient with us girls.

As I wrote on Emma's birthday post a day or two ago, she is the most particular girl I know. She knows what she wants. It is good though, because since she is particular, she will get only what she absolutely loves and will be so happy with it. Before we left, we looked on line at different stores to see the selections of kids and teen bedding. We were trying to find something that would go perfectly with the monkey theme that she wants for her room. Since Christmas she has been collecting different monkeys and accessories for her room.

She found a particular bedding that she just loved and it happened to be the same comforter that I saw in Good Will the other day. When I saw it I was sure that it was "Emma". I am finally getting a feel for what she likes after 9 years.

So off to Bend we went. 1st stop was Good Will to see if that comforter was there. Sure enough it was. She got to see in person if she liked it. We had them hold it just in case we couldn't find anything else. The price was right at 14.99. We also found two adorable hot pink pillows, which we bought with credit that I had.

Then we hit JC Penney, nothing at all there. We went to Bed Bath & Beyond to look for the one we saw on the website but we couldn't find it, but we did find a soft, large throw that was just like the comforter. Our last stop was Target. Target is the winner store of the day. Emma was leaning toward a hot pink comforter set but was hesitant because it was much like her down comforter that goes under her bedspread. At first she was willing to put that one on top and just add accessories, but Mum, that's grandma for short, showed Emma this adorable hot pink polka-dot set. Emma loved it and the price was right! Papa was there and decided to throw in a set of pretty sheets. Rainbow striped sheets made the perfect match for the comforter. We ran back to BB&B and got the throw and then headed to Good Will to get the comforter that she loved for her top bunk.

After getting home only 2 1/2 hours after we left, a record for Emma in birthday shopping, we made up her bed and decorated her room with cute wall stickers that we found at the 1.00 store. I posted pictures below. The final look was stunning!!! And we had so much fun. Now I have to convince Emma to sleep under the covers instead of on top with a little blanket. She hates messing up her pretty bed!







Just before Mum and Papa headed back over the pass we stopped at Cibelli's for pizza. It ended up being a wonderful day!
