Baby girl’s room

 

After decorating two boys’ rooms, it was so much fun to go girly!  I had to reign myself in and not try to incorporate too much into the space…there were so many cute things I wanted to include!

 

 

Prints on antique book paper.  Resin frames painted for a pop of color.

 

My mom made all the bedding and drapes (in fact she has made the bedding for all of the kids & boy do the sheets last!)  See those sheets on the crib mattress below?  Those are from oldest son!  They still look brand new.   I’m sure she wasn’t too excited when I asked her to make a ruffled crib skirt too.  Neither of us have a serger.  She mentioned it was like making four skirts.  Thanks mom!

 

 

The last layer of ruffles is attached with velcro, so it can be removed as the crib mattress is lowered.

 

 

I really loved having baby girl’s room upstairs.  She was away from the boys’ rooms (read noise!).  The slanted ceiling with the dormers gave her room and the tv room such a cozy feel.

 

Birds and butterfly theme.

 

 

One of my favorite things?  The knobs on the dresser!  They are just so girly.  I really like how the antiquing wax accentuated all of the grooves and details on the dresser.  Here is a post where I described my experience painting baby girl’s furniture.

 

 

Rocker placed in the dormer window for a cozy ready nook.

 

 

The rocker was my grandmother’s rocker and was given to me when I was a child.  I have an old photo of my grandmother, probably 18 months, having a tea party with her teddy bear in this rocker.  I love being able to pass on family pieces to our kids.
