Redoing the Girls Room Part 1

It's finally time to move J in with M, they aren't going to like it- but it's time!  Since M was born, my middle child has been bounced back and forth from room to room as we tried to figure out our bedroom dilemma which is that the girls should be in the same room together, even if they're sworn enemies once bedtime hits.  I can't blame J- M sings herself to sleep and stays up for hours after we put her down (bedtimes 7pm and she's usually still talking to herself in bed at 10pm), so we've been hoping that having a pretty new bedroom will soften the blow for J.

As of right now, I have four pillows made and am in the process of getting two quilts finished for the beds, so I thought I'd post up some pics of the progress

I'm redoing the room in two of my favorite fabric lines by Heather Bailey- Pop Garden and Bijoux- here are a few samples from the lines (the first two are the ones I'm making the quilts out of)
And here are the pillows I have finished so far:

These are the owls (that were so fun to make!)
 


and here are the tree pillows I made with lots of different scrap fabric I had laying around:

 
I'm planning on painting the walls yellow and bookcase red or turquoise while I wait for their beds to get here, then we'll start thinking about what we're going to decorate the walls with!

my parents went through the same thing you are with your two daughters. my sister and i fought so bad at night! we could never share a room. they finally gave up and from the age of 5 till i was 16 i shared a room with my brother and it worked out great! good luck!
