- Hey guys! I'm Alexandra Gater and I show you how to do rental-friendly upgrades and DIY projects on a budget. New videos every Saturday and vlogs on Wednesdays! In this week's video, I'm turning a baby girl's nursery into a more grown-up bedroom, one that will grow with her.

Thank you so much to each and every one of you for your continued support. I get to make these videos for a living, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it.

Room is beautiful but where is color purple , where are the teddies 😬
I am glad she still loved the room
A lavender wall with a purple circle would have been perfect! A funky child's armchair instead of the plant would have been more practical too in my opinion.
laiba farrukh Pink is the new purple...
Looks beautiful! But...she said teddy bears and purple.
The time she is grown up to this room age , she will already be fed up with this for having this soooo long and will surely want a room makeover 😶
@@madamepuillet2766 I totally agree with you
So many people just gravitate toward something tasteless and disney-themed just to please the little one, but this is soo so so so much fun, it's playful, it's EVERYTHING! There's so much to explore and cherish, and yet it's not too busy or serious. You really did it, again🙂
I agree. This might be a kid's room, but it shares decor with the rest of the house and her parents have to look at it every single day too. And designing it for a longer term makes sense to me ... busy parents don't have time to be making over the house every two years, or the money to be replacing furniture. Not everyone likes thrifted.
Shame there wasn't more purple though ... Ikea has some smashing purple stuff this season, Alexandra could have had fun with that.
I love how you think of how she can change the room as she outgrows the child-like elements, but honestly as a 29 year old I would LOVE to have this room lol. I absolutely adore the light and the animal knobs in the dresser! I will say I’m kind of sad I didn’t see purple incorporated much, but glad Sloan still loved the pink!
I am 40 and I want that dresser with those knobs 😂 + I totally love the lamp with the birds clips
Never be afraid to use a child’s opinions and input about their space - they’re in it the most! The room turned out adorable and Sloane is the absolute cutest.
"I like purple but don't like red" as she's adorably wearing her purple and red glasses lol
Two year olds 😂
I noticed the same. lol.
Yet the decorator did not give her any purple 🤦♀️
Island Chick Designs & Finds probably mom didn’t want it
She is so adorable I can’t even stand it. A girl that knows what she wants.
"Jess isn't going to have to invest in a new bed in 5 years." Girl, I slept on a twin bed until last year (a year after college).
I slept on a twin bed until I was out of college.
@@kcanded Same
Okayyy
We had twin bunkbead from IKEA and my brothers slept on it through college and they are 6’3 and 6’5
@@kcanded Yeah, last year was one year after college for me. Lol.
@@rqdh22501 That sucks. I'm 5'8" and my feet still hit the bottom of a twin bed. Can't imagine being 6'5" on one.
WE 👏 WANT 👏 MORE 👏 SLOAN 👏
Where is the purple? Where are the teddies? So much for listening to your 2 year old client 😜.
I love that giant circle, I just might give it a try.
chick256 pretty sure the client was the child’s mother
@@sparklepea do you see that emoji? It was meant to be tongue in cheek.
I really was hoping she’d throw in a teddy bear on the bed or on top of the basket or something. I get that kids change their minds all the time, but one teddy bear would be easy to change out. Better than yet another pink pillow.
This room is gorgeous, but where’s the purple tho :(
I was just thinking that 😭😭😭
Mom can purple it up with sheets.
And the teddies?
I haven’t even watched the video yet but that girl is adorable 🥰 I love her little glasses
I'm totally not a 'pink' person, but wow that color of the circle behind the bed is so beautiful! 👌🏻Love from Belgium!
All I could think was the child playing in the plant soil and getting it everywhere. Plus, where’s the purple?
Maridel Weaver not every kid gets into everything. I never had to move things around my house, my kids never gravitated towards things they shouldn’t touch. We always had plenty of toys and books out and rotated to keep them interested and it worked fine, although I know that we may have just been lucky. 😅
Vanessa Leonard Yes, you were lucky. Once the second child starts crawling, I’d recommend either a smaller plant, or putting this one on some sort of pedestal to keep it from her.
Very savvy and sweet of you to wear glasses for your little client who wears glasses! The room looks great! Harper and Avery are both great names! Sloan is ADORABLE and so HAPPY! As a parent, I have to say I wish I had thought "double bed" for my son when he transitioned. When kids need mom at night, a double bed is a much more comfy option. It also looks like it is a safer "trampoline"! LOL! You owe Sloan a new teddy, otherwise, great job!
What a lovely little girl im sure she brightens any cloudy day with her positive bubbliness
This is a lovely room but am I the only who finds the dresser knobs to spiky for a child of her age? She can easily run into those with her eyes!? That being said, I love the circle hack behind the bed!
I thought the same thing! Immediately when she put on the elephant one, I thought "I hope she doesn't impale herself through the head on that."
I'd run into with my knees. I just know it. If I can stub something I will.
She will be fine. The world exists regardless of our paranoias.
I'm only two minutes in and Sloan has already melted my heart! Absolutely adorable! 😍😍😍
Also, one so relieved to see how secure the door to the basement is! I know, I'm weird. But I have young nieces and nephews, so that's how I think now! 😂
Why are people always so negative in Alexandra's comment section?
Sloan obviously loved the room and the parents probably did too :)
Because the girl said she likes purple and there's not a single purple item. That's why
Because people hate themselves, unfortunately.
I’m so confused, the little girl wanted purple and all I see is one purple Pom Pom.
That's what I was thinking too
She obviously planned the color scheme with the mom. A 2 year old could say “I want hearts and elephants and a dinosaur” and that’s just not what a parent would want for decor 🤷♀️ she asked her just to be cute, not to base all the decor on that
@@Styledandorganized Yeah but still though, she could've given her purple decor, like a pillow.
The whole room was WAAAAY too grown up for the girl. I had a twin bed until I was 16, and only got a double because the twin's mattress had springs starting to poke out of the fabric. That chest of drawers was far too big for her (what two year old can fill that with clothes?), and all the accessories didn't take into account the little girl's height. She can't reach her own toys in those big baskets or on those high shelves. I get it - it looked great, but it's just not practical for a tiny person, nor did it take any of her likes into consideration.
@@ShallaBal82 I agree besides the dresser part. Your wardrobe can grow. And some kids do have a lot of clothes. But the room does look too mature for her.
I'm a Grammy. I've seen many children's bedrooms decorated to suit their Mom's. Though this is a beautiful room, I have to agree with others it's not what she asked for. My friends had no say what so ever ever into their teens how their rooms were decorated. Sad really. Two might seem a little young to understand design, but this little girl knew what she wanted. Though I do think she was coached to say bohemian.
My Mom gave me full rein on my rooms. From hot pink and red, then to orange and soft pink when I took over my sister room when she went off to college when I was ten. At sixteen still I wanted blue with white starred curtains and bedding and red walls. I got it.
When our own daughter wanted bright yellow walls with a sky blue ceiling, she got it. She and I have now decorated her daughters bedroom and bathroom just like she wanted it. I believe this teaches a child from an early age to be themselves, be creative. The skies the limit!
You put what I was thinking into the best possible words. Thank you for this. Showing a kid that what she wants and what she says is actually taken into consideration is such an amazing lesson early on. They have a voice and a mind. They can choose what they want. Kids opinions are often overlooked by their parents and its sad really
I completely agree! Despite being young and there being a possibility that she changed her mind while changes were being made, the room does not read at all to be something she would want. It's important for children to feel heard while growing up.
@@shishkebab6267 Thank you. I was so blessed to have a Mom that taught me to express myself early on. It's stayed with me my whole life. I've always had an "I can do anything attitude when it comes to creativity and more.
@@ebtor Yes, very important. Though they shouldn't always get their own way, if you ask for their opinion, an adult should really listen. If their idea is too outlandish, talk it over, come to a compromise you both are happy with. If you don't want anyone to see their oddly colored and decorated room, shut the door when you have guests. Little things like this do more for your child than buying them all the latest toys.
“Auntie Gater let’s get started” omg 😍 Love the new intro!!
You should have got a storage bed like one with drawrs. That way she could put toys or books there.
I think its would be a better choice if she is going to have the same bed for years.
It’s really beautiful but just doesn’t feel enough like a kids room to me! Putting a giant plant in a 2 year olds room also sounds like a disaster waiting to happen 😂
I saw that and immediately was like "ooooo you did NOT just put dirt at toddler-level?!"
If its from Ikea its probably fake :)
Gill Dawe Me... I hope she does not try to put her head thru the headboard, oh no the knobs on the dresser are too sharp for a 2 year old room my God a plant in a little girls room. And the idea that you make the room to last till she is 16 is just too much for me also. And finally none of her wishes came thru just because this lady as I have seen fm other videos is obsessed with the color pink!!!
Yes! The new baby will knock it over as soon as she starts crawling.
How adorable Sloan is!😍😍😍 Her smile and talking makes me very happy!
The makeover is really good.
The room is cute, but I’m definitely not a fan of that dresser. It was a miss for me, but otherwise I loved this room makeover.
NO.. thumbs down on the dresser!
the mirror looks dangerous
The dresser was cute until she added those balls on it lol
I feel like it would have looked so cute if it was fully painted and had the animal knobs all over instead of just having them mixed in!
I love the lack of seizure-inducing "vibrant" colors - bedrooms should be calming... and also great job acknowledging that the colors kids say they LOVE and 100% want on their walls are *suddenly their least favorite colors 5 minutes later.* They're dinosaurs then they're astronauts then they're princesses and then on to cowboys... if you try to accommodate that with bedroom decor and color it would never end-just give them a beautiful, comfortable canvas and let them fill it with artwork and trinkets that reflect their interests of the moment ;)
Good arguments! But (always there is a "but") Alexandra asked to. What for? Purple color and teddys are items easily to change...
@@ceciliaviacava I think it’s just a beautiful room any girl would love.
This is the prettiest kids room I have ever seen. Great choice of color.
This was literally the cutest thing ever! Why couldn't I have painted my room this color as a kid, I picked a HOT pink for my room 😂
No teddies. No purple. Too many knobs that are not child safe.
how are the knobs not child safe wtf
@@sindiskiti3946 the animal head knobs were a health and safety nightmare for a two year old... they dance about and play and slip and fall... straight into a pointy eared fox or an elephants trunk and gouge an eye out. I would have used those on the higher drawers that Sloan cannot reach.
Annette West Yesss indeed👍🏽
Thumbs up 2 minutes in. before the makeover, because the interaction between the two of you was TOO CUTE.
I absolutely love the idea of putting birds on a wicker lamp. It's whimsical and cute but the change is not irreversible. Also those nobs! I don't have a two year old but I need them. Great job at making the room look cute and cozy, but also sth that will transition well as a kid grows up!
It’s like that when children call you auntie. Your life is suddenly complete. ♥️♥️
Is Mom a Grey's Anatomy fan? Lol
Sloan / Mark Sloan
Harper or Avery.. The Harper Avery Award, or Avery the Doctor. Lol
I was thinking the same thing. Lol
Omg I didn’t even think of that
My thoughts exactly! They’re cute names anyways, Grey’s Anatomy has good character names!
Exactly! Greys fan!
Not a plant at 2 years old. Also I’d prefer a more whimsical room.
I’m with everyone else, very disappointed in the lack of purple that she specifically said she liked. Why ask her what she likes if you’re just going to ignore it?
That being said the room came together nicely and it’s cute...
Maybe Because toddlers change their minds every 5 minutes 🤷🏻♀️
i'm pretty she sure they filmed the intro after they did the room. just look at the wall behind them in the intro (like 0:40) and in the before shots (like 16:17)
Where’s the purple??? She specifically asked for that color!
everyone saying there should've been more purple...kids change their favorite color every other day. notice how she said she doesnt like red yet she has red glasses lol. the mom probably didn't want the hassle of changing the room color. and they used a lot of her old decor that matches pink more than purple. ANYWAY, sloan is precious.
Yeah she can't really control what glasses her parents get her. Nor which color is on the wall. I mean the argument I see most is her glasses but its like realistically her mom just grabbed a pair she thought was cute knowing she liked purple not really caring about the red part. Also there's different shades of purple and the circle could have had the adult dusty purple color instead of a dusty rose. It's not a big deal but I see why people are sad about it.
Could easily do purple curtains, rug, bedding...maybe artwork. So there are ways to incorporate the color without paint. And decor can be changed easily.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ we don't know their budget. Prices can add up. They already had a lot of pinkish decor. It's a cute room for a cute kid
I´d have used something you could swap out easily for the purple.
Sloan is sooo cute! I love the room, the dusty pink circle is the perfect shade. I also really like how the dresser turned out! And the light with the birds is so cute. There are so many whimsical touches. :)
Make sure you check on the toxicity of plants before putting them in children’s rooms! That fiddle leaf can be toxic to children and animals.
all philodendrons are toxic to children and animals so yes, it's toxic if eaten.
Alexandra wore her glasses when talking to the little girl who is also wearing glasses. That is so sweet!
Lol @ ppl complaining her room isn't purple. She's two years old, her fav colour probably changes every day. She seemed pretty thrilled with the results in the end and the room looked beautiful.
Agree.
Same here
Tori Tori but she went with the bohemian theme which must likely sloan knows nothing about. She obviously knows her colours, she said purple and added she doesnt like red. Most likely her mum wanted a pink room for her. But anyways she liked it
I agree. The comments here are insufferable.
Does this little girl remind anyone else of the kid in “Jerry Maguire”? Sloan is soooo cute ❤️
“A regular grown up light” she says, while having a bird light in her own apartment 😅
Cecilie Blondin 😂😂😂I thought the same thing!
The beginning of this video with Sloan made me smile so much. So sweet 😁
She's 2 - I think you got things wrong this time: the very sharp points on the animal knobs, the plant. Huge no......(sigh). She does not need sophistication, grown decor.....
Shes probably going to fall out of the bed. If it doesnt have rails. My 3 year old has a toddler bed & still falls out. But her bed is pretty much floor level.
Great points- Hopefully the little girls mom can make these safety adjustsments.
Hey it’s her life leave her alone her mom makes decisions
"Auntie Gater let's get started" aaaaawwwwwww 😍😍😍
Guys that bit at the start was filmed after the makeover! Pretty sure it’s there for a giggle not to be taken literally. Sloan probably wanted pink and changed her mind because she is two 🤣
Awe, the birds make the light pop! Love it!
Beautiful and very creative! The little girl obviously loves her dusty pink room . One's first big girl (or boy) bed is always a big deal to a child--thanks for reminding me!
Everything’s good except that painted drawer.
Let the kid be a kid... She’ll have plenty of time to be sophisticated.
EXACTLY!👏🏼👏🏼
I think it is beautiful! It's nice to have a calming space because once there are toys everywhere it can get too much!
"In 5 years when she outgrowns...." My seven self would've loooved this still!
Very cute however I feel this room is more appropriate for a 10yr old Sloan is two she wanted teddies and purple and your only a kid once 🙄
Yeah, but this is just it styled. I’m sure after Alexandra left they added maybe some kiddo wall pictures and lots of teddies and dolls. Remember this is just it styled for the internet, it’s like when you move in to a styled house - it looks perfect and stunning but you always add your own warm touches
OMG she has glasses, so cute!🤗 The room looks awesome. I was sceptical about the dresser paint treatment at first but it works.
I also wanted to add that I like the plant. Children can be taught to care for plants in their room I was a preschool teacher and I had plants in my room and the children really enjoyed them.
A lovely room for a lovely girl🥰
I especially like the bed, as a parent (or auntie) you can cosy lay with your child reading a story, singing a song or comforting the child if she has a bad dream or is sad or when she is sick. Love it
Well I cannot handle the cuteness of that little girl, let’s start there 😍 she said ‘thank you’ all by herself and was so well spoken for a 2 year old!! I’m dying 💕 also, this room is absolutely perfect!! LOVE it!!
Ps: I had a mini laughter attack while watching you paint the dresser and joke about it 🤣 you’re such a cute dork! Lol btw I wanna do that costume made dresser for myself now 🤩
most kids dont start hating their “kid room” until they’re like twelve, i dont see the point in being so concerned about making her room “adult”
Tatum Halligan Exactly she’s 2!!
In her defense, she had a baby crib and a changing table. You grow out of those fast lol
I think like Willi Smith Jeans and use three knobs like buttons, and drybrush blue to look like distressed denim. Like the pink circle, and love the birdies, so cute and creative. Enjoy the years growing up Sloane!
That little “thank you” 🥺 she is so cute!!
This comment section is rough.
Two year olds change their mind on their favourite colour every two seconds so Alexandra probably didn’t want to paint the whole room pink for her to change her mind two seconds later. A lot of people promote putting plants in children’s rooms, especially if you follow more Montessori/Waldorf style parenting. And so don’t think she meant that Sloan will want this exact room forever but the she meant the bigger pieces will last longer with her. I get the criticism but also feel bad when she obviously wants the room to be awesome for her and knows her and her mother’s style well.
I agree. The comment sections on pretty much all of Alexandra’s videos are like this. It’s hard to see because I think she does a great job on her makeovers! And I also agree about two year olds. And three year olds and four year olds. Lol. They change their minds a lot. I’m almost certain the mom had more to say about the makeover than Sloan did (as would I if this were for my child). And what I like most about the makeover is there’s room to grow and implement all of the changes Sloan wants as those decisions are made. Alexandra did a great job of laying the base down 🙂 I don’t think the heavy criticism is warranted and I don’t really get it 🤷♀️
The first sane comment for this video! Totally agree.
That specific plant is actually toxic to children and animals.
While children change their mind often it's a little silly to ask what she wanted and then include none of it, not even in a small way.
And some bigger pieces make sense, like the dresser(although those knobs are kinda scary) and others don't like high shelves with stuff she will actually want(this leads to kids trying to climb and grab what they want which is dangerous).
I think Alexandria has great intentions and a lot of her ideas are good, like the lamp with clipped on birds or the dresser because it's all customizable, but sometimes she can be a bit out of her depth and people explaining this will only help her in future makeovers. If no one had concerns then she would continue to do things that may actually not be practical or in fact harmful to the child.
but she did paint the whole room pink. I thought when she started drawing out the circle that it would be painted purple. No, it was pink too.
Yes, somehow the comments think this kid is heartbroken about the color purple, ignoring the fact she said she liked bohemian like she even knows what that is haha Its a cute room. I'm not sure why her comment section is like this all the time.
Love the giant circle, it’s magnificent! Uh, an idea to bring some purple in for this cutie pie: Dip the ends of that straw lamp shade into metallic purple paint, so it has even more texture (!) and maybe reflects some light dots onto the walls ...? (I guess purple foil would work even better) 🦄
Omg this little is so adorable!!!! I would loose the plant and put a floor mirror -when playing dress up is very important, so many other things could be added, like a toy chest, she’s only 2, got a long way to go ☺️
My favorite one! You should do more children’s bedroom! I loved when she called you auntie!!!!
She's so adorable that i cannot handle such amount of cuteness!!😍😍😭❤️❤️❤️
The room looked amazing. I really loved the color palette you used. That dusty pink works so well with the pistatchio green and light wood color. It is definitely a timeless room. I would def keep it like this till my teens and just add posters and decoration. Great job!!!
I also love purple! Haha
Honestly, I think Alexandra did an amazing job. Sure, certains things are maybe not ideal for kids, like the plant or some of the nobs. But those are things that can easily be changed. Also, Alexandra integrated things that were in the previous room like the stump, the lamp and the chair. Maybe Sloan likes those things and it may be easier to facilitate the transition of rooms since she recognizes them. Maybe the chair isn't specifically just for Sloan. Maybe it's for a parent to sit and read with Sloan on their lap. There is so many things we don't know, but Alexandra knows the mom and her child... Sloan looked super happy. Congrats Alexandra! Well done xx
I think Sloan was the best part of this video and Alexandra you are growing each day each time when u make in any interior day by day u are growing man love u always
I clicked SO fast! Excited to see you do the circle trend - also I'd love to see a tone on tone room from you - like a mint green room with deep green trim. Also, PLEASE tell me where you got your lilac footed bowl on your bookshelves. I went back and watched a bunch of videos of yours to find a source, but couldn't!
Does she really know what bohemian is😂😂😂😂😂
She is so clear what does she want❤
I am SO not a kid person but that little girl is the cutest thing in the world.
OMG....I can't hardly take it !!! Sloan is so sweet and precious. OMG !!!
I'm pretty sure that lamp is history after Sloan jumps on the bed to swing on it a few times.
I'm only two minutes into the video but it's absolutely illegal how adorable Sloan is she's so cute!
I can't with the cuteness exuding from Sloan!!!! I think the room turned out beautiful....ultimately, I think it's what mom wanted for the room. Alexandra did the job she was asked to do and did it well.
Alexandra is so good with kids!!! I enjoyed watching the entire video and you should do more kids rooms and even teens rooms!!! You look great in the orange dress!! I love it!!!
I don't get it… at the beginning I was so happy because just like me she loves purple and hates red… but where is the purple?? Where are the teddies?? I am confused, why did you ask Sloan what she wants if you did not plan on doing it?! She might only be two but her opinion should be important (moreover this room is gonna be her private space…)… the room still looks very pretty and cosy but it is way too 'big girl' for her…
I’m so nervous with Alexandra wearing that dress while painting!
Oh my God! Sloan is the most adorable little thing ever!
goodness me some of the comments on your videos are so critical and negative. they’re really starting to dominate over the positive and kind words and it’s such a shame to see, you create such beautiful spaces and people are quick to jump on you when you miss one small detail or forget one thing. we need more positivity and kindness in these comments! well done on another great video alexandra!
At two years old and child knows colors and preferences, the parent may not agree. Also purple accessories can be added. The color is beautiful and love the circle. As for the bed it is good to get a double bed as mom can rest with her if need be.
It’s so cute! But where is the purple:(? -I haven’t finished the video yet so maybe it’s coming but I’m 3 quarters through and no purple for Sloan yet
I was just about to ask the same thing! 😂 She clearly wanted purple somewhere.
It's a beautiful and functional room. Still, I'm all grown up and I'm crying in disappointment that the child did not get her purple or her teddy bears. At least they could have added a purple bedspread and some teddy bear decals on the dresser. Also, a child can get hurt on protuberant drawer hardware. This very thing came up in a British competitive decorating show. Not gonna lie, my main reaction is WTF?
maybe the big circle painted in purple will look great too.
If you rewatch the beginning if the video, Alexandra asked her what she wanted, they were sitting in the finished room already.
@@hkhkhk2019 I think that might have been too much of a contrast.
She is adorable! The room looks whimsical and fun.💜
The birds were the definite touch that was needed!🤩 Sloan is a sweet girl and who wouldn't love to go from a crib to a double.. that's amazing. Great job 👏
I am surprised by there the bed were placed, it took up the while room! Were is the play area?
That's a pretty big room. I see lots of room to play. But I'm going to guess that she has a play room in the house.
@@kathykov1 it's a big
house plenty space 4 a 2 year old child 2 play
I think its crazy that her bedroom is decorated until she is 15? She is 2! Is it going to stay the same for 13 years?!
That is more environmentally friendly to actually keep your stuff
@@isabelleer7501 Thrifting furniture is an option. It's ridiculous that a 2 year old couldn't even get anything in a color she wanted. Also consumer waste is not impacting the world at anything besides a fraction of large scale corporations destroying our planet.
Really adorable and she clearly loved it!! Most designers say it's a design that grows with a child but this really is!! So cute!!
I'm literally addicted to your makeovers I'm watching your videos all day 🌹
The room is adorable, just like the little girl, but she wanted purple. However she seems to love the room anyway.
Alexandra : what's your style
Slone : bohemian
Me : I didn't know what that meant till I was 11.
She's smart
No, her mum told her to said it. ;)
Awwwww she's so adorable. Also, I like that you kept it almost neutral so that almost anything that she adds going forward, wouldn't clash. Great work Alexandra! Love it!
this is genius! She'll less likely be jealous of the baby cos she's not the baby anymore . She's the big girl and being the big girl is so fun that you get a new room and get fussed over. Genius!
She loves purple! Where is the purple :)
I think the room is more for the mom vs. the kid.
Love it , she is so adorable 😍
Double beds are fantastic, all my kids have one, it gives enough room for mum/dad to snuggle up at bed time for a little while . And if you have adult guests over without needing spare rooms you can swap around sleeping arrangements and they have a decent size bed for their stay. It just makes sense! Especially as a bed that size takes them to adulthood.
Hi a almost 43 year old from the UK and I love this and would definitely love this for my room, its gorgeous x
"Texture!"
I like it, but it's a pain to dust :'(
Maya Desrosiers 😂no dusting going on in there
While the animal drawer knobs are cute, I see them as being a danger. Small kids to trip all the time. This scares me.
Thank goodness you went with the natural light! I love it so much more than the black! Esp with the birds!
I'd paint in old jeans and a ratty T or sweat shirt. I'm amazed you paint in your dresses, or skirts and blouses. Much neater than I am. Congrats!
