The Girls' Bedroom

I am in the process of convincing my parents to sell me their house so I can just live in my childhood bedroom forever. I figure it might make me age slower.

--Pete Wentz

In the old days, my girls room used to be full of pink ornaments. They also had several princesses posters on the wall which would be changed frequently depended on who their favorite characters were so they once had (the must have) Frozen, Sofia the First, Cinderella (after watching the movie), etc.  

Suddenly, a couple months ago, Zea told me that she and Najla would like to redecorate their bedroom. I still thought that they just wanted to change their room a bit but it turned out they planned to have a total decoration on the room. They said they're bored with pink and princess stuff. Ouch...really girls? You're both just 10 and 8 years old #worrytone.

The purple and blue for the wall

After having a second thought, I finally said yes to their request and started the bedroom renovation project. The first thing to consider was the color of the wall. Najla wanted purple while Zea chose blue. To accommodate both, the room at last repainted half in purple and other in blue. Next Najla said she needed posters of her favorite singers to be put on the wall. On the other hand Zea asked me to take her to a poster shop in order to get some inspiring quotes for the wall. 

The Taylor Swift poster

Well... I decided to buy one poster for Najla and she chose Taylor Swift. Zea after felt confused in the quote shops at last got one quote poster. We put all posters on the wall.  The last thing to do was taking out some of the girls' dolls, children books and toys that seemed already too childish for their 'teenage' (to come) years and changed them with more books although in fact they watch more Youtube videos than read the books (typical kids these days. Sigh!!!).   

Zea's Favorite Quote

Time does fly. Apart from this bedroom renovation, one thing hits my mind. Yes, my babies grow up. They're getting bigger not only physically but also mentally. So it's not just them who need to prepare for their teenage time even I am as a mom having a more important thing to do not to judge and try to discuss and get a win-win solution for any issue. I know it's not an easy thing to do but I will give a try. Wish me luck.
