Have you seen the movie Inside Out yet? It’s the new Pixar movie where the main characters are the emotions of an 11-year-old girl: Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger.
It’s really cute, but man. Those Pixar movies are tearjerkers. I was prepared for that, (thanks Up!) but what I was NOT prepared for was when my six-year-old daughter came home from the movie that night and LOST HER MIND. I don’t know if watching a movie all about emotions made her extra emotional or what, but she spent a good two hours that night throwing a completely unfounded tantrum. It was baffling. So uh, be aware of that, I guess?
I don’t really even know why I’m bringing that up, other than the fact that today’s makeover was done by someone named Joy, and I guess that reminded me?? That movie seriously needs to come with a warning label.
But anyway, back to Joy! Joy at Beautiful Protest fixed up this little attic bedroom into a highly attractive little attic bedroom.
Would it have ever occurred to me to remove that lowest shelf so the bed could fit there? Or would I have just been like, “Cool! Bookshelves!” Let’s pretend it’s the first one.

June 25, 2015 at 9:36 AMI have never posted a blog comment before (like on any blog–not just yours), but I took my 4 year old daughter to Inside Out last night and she was a HOT MESS. Literally crying at everything and totally irrational.
Just had to post a comment that we’re right there with you! 🙂

Also with you on the shelves, would not have been cool enough to think of moving the bed there!

In the “lavender bedroom” she actually had two double beds on one wall, arranged foot to foot, with shelves on the wall above the heads of both beds. The shelves were full of Reader’s Digest books. I loved that room (where my mother grew up) but it was hard making those beds. 😉

June 26, 2015 at 4:45 AMGreat idea on the shelf removal! The room looks very cozy. I think this might be one of my favorite ‘after’s’.
I don’t have children, but I get what they are going through. In my mid-20s I realized that certain magazines, books and movies, had effected me emotionally for years, so I cut certain subject matter out. With age came wisdom and a better sense of self, but I’m still careful of what I choose.

June 26, 2015 at 1:38 PMMy daughter (who’s seven) went to Inside Out with her little buddy – who lives across the street. She was a weeping, sobbing, howling mess for hours afterwards. Apparently, this movie amplifies ALL of the feelings! (Sounds like the little buddy across the street was somehow mysteriously unaffected, though… Weird.)
