Luna's room

We were going to put Luna in the middle bedroom, but she's having issues sleeping in her room. I moved her into the front room, so I can open the door and she can see us. Little steps to getting her independent.... Wadean's husband Jessie is going to come over tonight to install the circa 1960 smiley face ceiling light for me.

I found a sleighbed on Craigslist for $25. I was amazed. The thing is solid wood, wonderfully kept and a very expensive chunk of furniture. Wow. Cool!!!!!!!! Got it home and it was under an inch too large to fit the way I wanted it to. *sigh* We got it in, though.
I'd taken back from Fanya a lamp that Mom gave her, but it lived in her closet. She never used it. It's got a painted roses and beaded glass shade. I'd hung her little bats - they'd been over her crib when she was a baby. Her purple moon mobile got some space. I've taken out all the toys and put them into the middle room, but I left her full as it can be bookshelf.
I used an old yellow butterfly sheet that was left at the house by one of the ex-roomie's mostly homeless buddies to make curtains. I also raided an old Pops topsheet. He rarely uses the topsheets. They'd end up on the floor for Molly to sleep on.
I got out my creative hat and went to Walmart and spent about $15 on iron on stuff, fabric paint and red fabric. I'd cut off some shorts for Fanya and used the leftover stripey fabric in my build.

This is what happened....
