I don't think I ever posted pictures of Alexee's room after we got
her comforter, and I finally did a painting to hang above her bed so I decided to tidy up her room and snap some pictures for a quick tour.

(I usually don't tuck the comforter in, but it's kind-of long and I wanted to show the toy baskets (Target) under the bed. Her bed is rarely made because she still takes an afternoon nap.)

Looking from bathroom door. I did the tulip painting for her nursery before she was born, and the armoire was in my bedroom at home. She keeps special toys in the top part and clothes in the drawers. I still want to put something on the wall to the left of the armoire...maybe frame a few of our favorite pictures of her...I'm not sure yet.
Here are a few of the little details around her room:
This border was here when we bought the house. I probably wouldn't have chosen it myself, but I like it fine. It actually matched her baby bedding perfectly so we left it, and now she is really in a "princess" phase, so it works great for her at this age, too. (I based the painting above her bed on the scene from the border.)
These were decorations at her 3rd birthday party, and I wanted to keep them for a while...so they're in the corner of her room for now.
I bought this little yellow bookshelf at an antique store in Arkadelphia when I was at
OBU. Back then it was used to store my accounting textbooks, but now it holds many children's books. I keep thinking I'll repaint it purple or something, but I haven't made it to that project yet. I love the little Raggedy Ann and & Andy dolls that my Mom sent her. It was a neat surprise because I'd been thinking about buying her some of those dolls, but I'd never mentioned it to Mom. One day a package showed up in the mail and that's what was inside! :)
Bogart likes Alexee's bed. He has a designated sleeping spot or two in every room of the house. I think he likes the fluffy comforter.
The pillow with the blue ruffle border was mine when I was a child. On it is a little red-headed girl kneeling beside her bed for prayers. The hot pink princess pillow was a baby gift from my cousin, Tracie. Grammy bought Alexee the pretty purple kitty, which she loves.
The banner says "Once upon a time" because she is also into telling stories right now, and they almost all involve a princess doing some random thing (such as going to a cave...based on our recent experience in Branson). 
"Princess Alexee" picking pink and purple flowers (in a lot of her stories)
This rocking horse was a baby gift from Lane's accounting group. Crosby likes it now, but it still "lives" in A's room.
On the back of her door she has a memory verse memorization chart. She is doing great! It's such a joy to hear her say these!
We've had so many hummingbirds this summer. They're fun to watch, but hard to get a picture of! You can barely see this one on the left side of the feeder, just above the flower.
Alexee before gymnastics last week. Her cousin Katie gave her all this fun jewelry when we were in HS for Grammy's birthday.
Front door--getting ready for fall. I'm waiting a little longer to buy mums for the front steps because it's still in the 90s.
