Extreme Makeover - Jordan Edition

For months Jordan has been very upset about the current state of her room. In her words, "It looks like I am a baby!!!" " It was cute when I was 8, but I am NOT 8 anymore!!!" You get the picture, so we made a deal, if she could keep her room clean for 1 month, 30 days in a row we would paint her room. You do have to understand that Jordan has an aversion to picking anything up or putting it away, this was tough. You also need to know that my standard of clean is pretty high, so after 6 months of failures, I lowered my standards and she did pick up most of her stuff. Plus as darling as her room is she did have a point, I picked the decor, and she is growing up. To avoid having to redo her room any time soon, I let her have some say in the process. She has some pretty interesting ideas. Polka dots for instance. It has been an interesting process of compromise between the two of us. But, I think that it turned out pretty darn cute.

It is definately Jordan's room now :)
