going back a few weeks to late July

 It was time to dismantle the schoolroom. 


And so began the task of taking down school day memories, days and moments. Huge portions of my time, energy and efforts were removed from the walls that day as well as the bookshelves being emptied and most books boxed up, a desk was taken down and donated to a thrift store ministry.

But new things were ahead and the room was about to experience new beginnings too. Ivy was moving in and this was to be her bedroom. Charlotte and I drove to the Sherwin Williams store and bought a can of Crisp Linen paint one morning in late July and so began part two of the transformation of this room. It brightened the walls perfectly for this kindergartener's new place to call her own.
