I am getting the decorating bug... but still at my sister's house until this Saturday. We found some great buys at second hand stores around here. So, I can't wait until I am back home and able to complete the rooms the way we need them.

For my daughter's very Pooh Bear room we found these great silky wide-striped curtains of hot pink, orange, and gold that coordinate with the color of Pooh Bear. For the twin bed in that room we found some bright tye-dye rainbow-striped sheets and some really funky pillow shams of similar colors. All I need there are some blankets and comforters that coordinate.

For the bedroom with the bunk bed and twin, I have several sets of burgundy sheets. I also found an never used sheet with basketball jerseys and team names on it. It coordinates with a plain blue fitted sheet I found and a red bed skirt. Hopefully, that room will look good with different red and blues. The funny part is that room has light pink walls and little fairy cut-outs on the walls from the last tenants :rollin I think we need to redo the walls! Then, I only need to buy comforters and a couple blankets.

We also got a great deal on plastic protector sheets for the beds.

It is quite a relief to be getting done with the list of things that need to be done. Our next meeting with our caseworkers in is a couple weeks. They seem to think we can be certified (and homestudy completed) by the end of January!
