The mission – ambushing our teenager’s room for a remodel we lovingly titled Operation Extreme Bedroom Makeover for her birthday. You see, as she’s gotten older, her tastes have outgrown her pre-teen decorated room. She used to be all about bright, neon colors (I swear, she made me blind sometimes!) Now, however, she wanted something more sophisticated, something more grown-up and teenager-y. So, to ambush her room we sent her out with her friends for a few hours. While she was gone, we ransacked reorganized her room, threw junk in boxes cleaned up a bit and put together her new decor and bedding.
I am completely in love with what we decided to do. I love how it is classy, modern, and unique. I even loved the fact that I was able to sneak a surprised picture of her by hiding in the corner of her room! There I sat, anxiously sitting on her chair in the corner, just to snap a picture when she walked in. As I’m sure you can imagine, she was all kinds-of shocked. She had no idea her friends were in on the surprise, too. {evil grin}
What do you think?
Here she is, our ambushed and surprised newly fourteen-year-old birthday girl. Geez, where does the time go?
