From Bed to Daybed

Things are going really well in my daughter's room makeover.

They used it to play their DS's on, listen to music on Bug's iPod and we actually found them both passed out there after their visit to the pool.

Over the coming week, I'll share how I made each of the pillows on the daybed and how we went from this:
