| Phoebe Turned 13!! Let me say that one-more -time THIRTEEN. Well, now, that got here fast. We like any excuse to do a makeover of Phoebe's room and the 13th Birthday MAKEOVER...did not disappoint. I think a testament to any Successful makeover, is a room which holds it's own, over time, WHILE an Actual person LIVES in it. Sleeps in it. Studies and has Sleepovers in it...and listens to music and dances with her friends in it. Kicks her soccer ball in it! |
Bearing this in mind,
the transformation of Phoebe's room ...
Her 13th Birthday Makeover
6 months down the line
remains a COMPLETE success!!!

After we removed the wall decals, we were stumped as to what we should replace them with. We were trying to decide what to do for over the bed and "ah ha!" we remembered and it sealed the deal!!!!
