the girl's room: so far

The girl's room is as it's going to be for now. I had all these lofty goals but I'm still trying to be good and take things easy until our little dovie comes. And it will change soon after that when we move the crib in. It's going to have to be a high functioning little space once it's in but it will work. 

Her headboard is the sweetest thing, I should have taken a picture of it, but I think we paid five bucks for that at a garage sale we randomly past one day. The desk was free on Craigslist.  The chair too, was Craigslist. I think almost everything else is from TJ Maxx.  

I take it back, that heart print is from Rifle Paper Co. and I made that little cumber bun pillow.

That's it for now. I'm sure it will be an evolving space. I know I'll always have some project I want to do.

One day I want to make a valance for the curtains like this one. I wish I could remember where I found this picture, I've had it saved away forever. 

a peek

Here is a little peek at the color I picked for C's room. His room is freshly painted so we'll give it a few days before his crib gets put back together in his own room. He has been rooming with us as I painted his room. I feel like I've been sleeping with a newborn again. I wake up to all his little sleeping sounds.

The color is Gabardine in the Martha Stewart line. It's a little bit more bluer than I wanted. I was going for a more grayer blue but I like it still the same. All the white in his room looks so nice with the color of the walls. I love it. I was nervous about it feeling too dark in his room but it just feels fresh and bright. It feels so good to have even one room painted. I just have to put up curtains and do some last minute touches. This is the fun part. Putting it all together. I can't wait to show you when it's all finished.
