Brielle's Room

Ok, so I've been working on Brie's room for several months now, and I still haven't finished. I thought I'd show you the progress thus far: Yes, I dangerously put my baby on top of a dresser and walked away to take a picture.
But look at her. She's so happy!


IKEA frame spraypainted a flat white, then a custom mirror put in ($25)

Sorry for the dark photos, I should have taken them later in the afternoon.
So John & I (mostly John) painted below the chair rail in a color called CHESNUT (Valspar from Lowe's) on the bottom & SUGARCANE PINK on the top. We had some guys do the chair rail and crown molding. WELL WORTH THE MONEY.

Window sheers from JCP, lovely lumbar pillow handmade by my MOM!! LOVE the fabric!
This is the Migi Blossom crib bedding set, sold several places.


I'm not done with her bird mobile, but I was inspired a long time ago by Martha Stewart's birdie mobile but I'm not really a papercrafts gal, so I opted for the fake flowers instead of a billion paper ones. I did make the birds with craft paper from, where else? Good ol' Hobby Lobby.
Or Hobby Yabi as Hallie would say.
Flowers from Pier One. Props to John for figuring out how to attach the branches, making it structurally sound so I'm not worried about branches falling on my baby at night!
