Finished

The girls' room and playroom that is. First there was that dresser to contend with:

Remember the part that was missing? Well, I called the company and ordered a replacement part, and for a week had all these dresser guts littering my living room. The part arrived a couple days ago, so I went back to work on it and lo and behold, I discovered that the part had never been missing in the first place. Isn't that the way things go? Anyway, it took me nearly all day yesterday to get this thing assembled, but I did it with the help of my handy electric screwdriver. Not bad, huh?

Here's the girls' room, finished. I ended up NOT putting a new wallpaper border up or a new rug. Really, the room is mostly the same except that I moved some things around on the walls and added the new dresser.

This door opens into the playroom; when the house was built it was an open balcony across the back of the house, but at some point somebody enclosed it. It's really a perfect playroom for the girls.
