Come Inside Chateau de Ledgeview

There is so much to show you here.

The house was basically untouched 

for around 50 years.

This was taken last summer before they bought it.

There was lots of dark paneling and the rooms 

were quite closed in.

This was a big move for my daughter's family.

Her girls had lived in the same house since birth.

They were a little anxious about the move.

Mom & Dad did their bedrooms first thing.

I think I will take you through the house

room by room.

We will start with Lulu's bedroom.

She chose the SMALLEST BEDROOM upstairs

because she likes small spaces.

Here is the room 

BEFORE:

Paneling around the whole room

and a built in unit that took up one whole wall

of the small space.

Here is the room with the wall unit removed

and drywall installed.  

The wall behind her bed is painted pink and has

SPARKLES in it which show up 

when you see it in person.

Her Dad built her a special light fixture

using barnwood and recycled jars.

See the "door" in the ceiling?

That has a pull down staircase that goes up 

to a LOFT-which will be a study room for her.

or for parties with her girlfriends

 Her Mom and I painted the desk 

and chair for her here.

It was the first time I used Annie Sloan chalk paint.

Auntie Mimi painted her name 

on an old window frame 

using a Paris theme.

Lulu put the boa around it all on her own.

Do you see the phone on the desk?

That is the one I spray painted here.

And-just a peek at a couple of sweet details.

So-There you have it.

A room fit for a sweet pre-teen girl.

She loves her room and

I LOVE HER!

Even if she does have hydrangeas growing out of the back of her head
