room reveal: the harlee girl's room

2/12/2019

0 Comments

 
When we moved to the farmhouse, almost two years ago, our Harlee-girl was ten years old.

She was (still is) VERY into basketball.

We had recently redecorated her room at the old house in a basketball theme...including a huge LeBron James cutout on the wall.  
In fact, the buyers of that house kept LeBron on the back of the bedroom door before we had a place for it at the farmhouse. 

Good ol' Dylan & Bailey. ❤️

So anyway...we moved into the farmhouse with the intent of building Harlee an enclosed closet in an enclosed bedroom.

We planned to decorate it using her basketball decorations and to hang LeBron on the newly constructed wall between her room and the playroom..

We had the best intentions, but...

Mr. Farmhouse hasn't gotten around to building that bedroom wall yet.

LeBron has been traded to the Lakers.

And now, our Harlee-girl is a 12-year-old who does still love the game of basketball, but asked for a "grown up room" for her birthday.

So goodbye to (most) of the basketball decor...and hello to her own pre-teen space.

Harlee's room sits on the west side of the upstairs and although it seemed like the smallest area when we first moved in, it really makes for a pretty large bedroom...just kind of long and rectangular-shaped.

Here are some "before pictures" of her bedroom.  We painted the paneling and added a "closet" area.  The original basketball decor can be seen here, as well.

Over the last year-and-a-half, Harlee expressed the desire to get rid of the loft bed and start to move away from her basketball-themed bedroom.

So...that's what we did.

Of course, her basketball curtains are still there and she still had to have her MU Women's Basketball poster and favorite Duke memorabilia!  

So without further ado...Harlee's new room!

I love how even with the "grown up" parts of Harlee's new room, I can still see that little toddler who said, "Go Duke!" over and over for her Uncle G...and I love that her baby blanket still lays folded at the end of her bed.

Feeling sentimental here at the farmhouse tonight,
Hannah

farm days.

Some farm days are wonderful.  

When the cows are calving in the spring, riding around on the Ranger with Mr. Farmhouse is one of our favorite things to do. 

It's warm, sometimes muddy, and everything is greening up.

We bounce through the fields and try to spot new babies or check on mamas getting ready to have new babies.

In the summer, being able to get up early enough to do my Bible Study on the back porch and watch the ducks and chickens mosey around the yard is a great part of farm life.

Working in the garden in the evening with Mr. Farmhouse & the girls is a great way to be productive and spend time together.

In the fall, we love seeing tractors in the fields as we drive by and the girls enjoy spending time in the combine with Daddy, Gramps, and Uncle G.

Farm life is amazing.  

It's fulfilling and purposeful and hard work.

Especially in the winter.

And this winter has been a rough one.

From sub-zero temperatures to snow & ice, keeping animals fed and alive has NOT been easy.

To be honest, we have lost a few calves this winter...

We have spent money trying to keep other calves alive...

​We even had our bottle calf "Patty" spend four days and three nights in the farmhouse basement (with the two older girls).
Picture
Today, the trees are covered in ice.

It's not even going to get up to 20º today.

School has already been cancelled for tomorrow.
Businesses have shut down. 
People have chosen to call in to work. 

In fact, after I've showered the last few days, I've just put on clean pajamas instead of regular clothes.
And yet...all over the Midwest, farmers have been out in this junk all day.

Mr. Farmhouse will work until 4:30 and then get in the truck and go feed cows and make sure they're all safe and sound before coming home at dark.

Ice will be need to be chopped.
Hay bales will need to be unwound.
New babies might need to be taken inside and warmed up.

Some farm days are enjoyable.
Some farm days are miserable.
All farm days are hard work.

Saying a prayer from the farmhouse for those out working in this weather and thinking about our farmers,
Hannah
