McKenna's New Bedroom

As one of McKenna's Young Women Projects, she decided that she wanted to "redo" her room to feel more like the temple. It has been aqua blue for several years now and had an "ocean" theme to it...super cute...but not very relaxing. This is what it looked like after we had emptied it and were preparing to paint... And this is it now!!!! Everytime I look in her room I want to go in and sit down!!! It is just beautiful!!!!! We still need to go pick up a white chair that we found that she can sit in to read, and one more lamp...but other than that we are done!

Don't you want to hang out in here?!

This picture is what she wanted for Christmas... a picture of the Savior holding a newborn baby. We are having lettering made with her favorite scripture to put above it that says... "Fear not little child for you are mine"...

This is where the other lamp will go... on her nightstand. It will be perfect!

I don't know about you, but when I was almost 16 this isn't what my room looked like! If my mom would have let me I would have covered the walls with pictures of rock stars and movie stars... I sure love my teenage girl!!!! McKenna, you make me want to be a better person and mother!

That looks like a hotel room. I love it! I wish my bedroom looked like that!

McKenna's room is absolutely beautiful!! I could definately relax in there! She is an amazing girl! Like you, Steph, when I was a teenager I had music stars and movie stars pictures on my walls. I wish I had been more like my remarkable granddaughter!
