...for Monet meant a new bed.
Since returning to Australia, Monet's bed had been our spare Queen sized one. Her UAE bed went to her little sister. Going from a five bedroom villa and then eventually into a three bedroom apartment has meant a lot of purging and donating of goods to the Salvos or Red Cross. And because Monet had spent a good three years in bedrooms the size of our whole living area in our apartment, she couldn't get around her head that she had an Australian 'normal to large sized' bedroom. Not enough room for her with the Queen-sized bed hogging near half of her floor space.
MrL and I bit the bullet and went through with a promise we made her, in getting a new bed. After a few weekends of both MrL and Monet doing the rounds of furniture stores in Cairns (there are not many but we had to try and work out suitable cost for a bed and mattress etc.,) we all settled on one from Snooze. We went to PillowTalk and bought a new doona and she choose a new cover.
Next step in the bedroom transformation was the purchase of these wall stickers we spied in a store.
And bunting. Every eight year old girl should have bunting. I had never made bunting before but gave it a go. I went to Spotlight and choose three colours. I didn't have the doona cover with me at the time but was rapt when I got home to see I had chosen very well...
Of course since this has all happened Monet has changed her room around half a dozen times, 'cause that's how she rolls.
We've noticed a more happier Monet since her new bed came into her life and the old bed was removed.
Happiness came in the form of a new bed. Who knew?
