Room Make Over




For my daughter Rebecca’s 20th birthday we planned a special surprise. Because she loves television shows on remodeling and decorating homes, we thought we’d make over her bedroom. It was really tough planning and keeping this idea secret. The whole family was in on the idea. My daughter in law Stephanie called Rebecca and told her that she wanted to have a girl’s night out to celebrate Rebecca’s birthday. So she arranged for Rebecca to come directly after work to spend the night at her house and then she’d leave for work the next morning without coming home. Tyler excused himself and came over to help us paint furniture and install a ceiling fan. The next morning when Rebecca left for work Stephanie came over and helped us paint walls and install new blinds and curtains. With only minutes to finish we put on new sheets and a bed spread and hid in her room.




Rebecca was totally surprised. For three months we planned this and she had absolutely no idea what we were doing. She kept saying, “You guys got me soooo good!”
