We finally finished Kaylee's bedroom! When we built the house, we knew we were pregnant, but didn't know if we were having a boy or a girl; so we chose to paint the baby's future room yellow. The next step was the bedding. Once we found the perfect pink & brown bedding, the room decor always has to follow the bedding theme. So her bedroom theme is flowers and butterflies in pinks and browns. Lovely! My friend Marci is very crafty. She made the letters of Kaylee's name to hang on her wall. She used scrapbook paper and embellishments to make them super cute in the perfect colors. Thanks Marci! I decided to try making my own curtains for my little girl, and they turned out to be a success! I have never made curtains, but they seemed simple enough. I didn't have a pattern to follow, but it all worked out. Then I hot glued little brown and pink flowers all over them.
This is the same crib that Jaxton and Cooper slept in when they were babies. But it was all beat up from being moved across country and being kept in storage and such. Since all the wood in our house is dark, we decided to make it match all the rest of the wood in our house. We sanded it down and painted it dark. It turned out great!
Nate's sister, Melissa Owen, has a cricuit, a machine that cuts out vinyl lettering. When she was here for the weekend, we punched out these letters and put them up on the wall. They add such a cute touch to the room. Thanks Melissa!
We also painted the changing table and the dresser, all to match in the dark wood color. They all turned out great. The room was a huge project, but was so much fun! We finished it off with this beautiful picture that Nate got for me several Christmases ago. It is a painting of a little girl looking up at and holding Christ's hands. The innocence and peace of the little girl looking up at her Savior brings the spirit into Kaylee's room. I am glad we could get her room all finished so she can have a little haven of her own.
