Design on a Dime

Me and my two sister-in-laws spent the entire afternoon together today shopping for curtains, a bedspread, sheets, pillows, and a rug for Grandma Brindle's bedroom. We really felt like we were on one of those makeover shows that we watch on television. It was so much fun!

Grandpa Jack passed away early this morning at home. We were ready to leave for church this morning when we got the phone call. Before we left, I was doing dishes and Mya asked, "Is Grandpa in heaven with the baby?" What a sweet, sweet question. Instead of going to church we went straight out to Grandma's house. Dan's mom and aunt thought it would be great to do a makeover of the room that Grandpa died in so Grandma could make that her new bedroom. It took us all day and took a lot of people helping, but we pulled it off. The room looked fabulous and very modern. We found a lime green bedspread, green and white rug, and brown curtains. It made me want to go home and redo a room in my house. We unveiled the room tonight and Grandma just cried and thanked us for the work that we did. It was so rewarding to see her face.

Now we are all home for the evening and just relaxing from a busy day. Tomorrow Dan has the day off of work and we are so excited to have a family day. We are going to take the girls to the parade in the morning and just spend the day together with the girls.
