Wow, what a whirlwind! 500+ hairbows, 100's of clippies, several tutus, onesies, candles, headbands, and hairbow holders, all laid out in beautiful displays -- ALL OVER MY HOUSE! It was very stressful planning for my first big sale, but so worth it. I had such fun "playing store" and so many wonderful people came through and were very complimentary.
Now, the question is, do I want to put my house back together? Do I want the 3 baby strollers back in the family room for the 2 girls? Do I want the Dora Explorer kitchen, with the Rubbermaid Containers full of play food and dishes back in my kitchen? Do I want to put my couch pillows back in the dining room where they were the "campground"? ABSOLUTELY!! I loved this experience, and I would do it again in a heartbeat, but I miss my girls who were shipped to Nana's for the weekend, and I miss their reminders. The signs that show where they left off and where they will start again next time.
But...before I get to all of that work, here are a few pictures from the Girly, Twirly Open House!

and then I found this gorgeous, old chair. It was once stained cherry, but a coat (or 5 coats) of white paint with just a hint of pink, and the same gorgeous toile to recover the seat transformed it into something fit for a princess. And then I found the lamp...
with the SAME pink toile and a perfectly painted base -- striped in pale pink and sage green. And I thought...
what a wonderful way to build a pretty, girly room! Don't you think that this would look absolutely precious with a white duvet, a sage gingham bedskirt, and some frilly pink and sage pillows? I thought so! And, I think it would be really fun to put together sets like these for those that may need just a little push in the right direction to create a fun, and definitely royal, room!
