The room is coming along!

We have started the room. I feel like it is taking forever to finish but i cant do much so that is just the way it is. Thank goodness for family that can help out. My mom and Amber come almost every Friday and sew. We like to call it Alicia's sweat shop since i just bark orders from my recliner while they sew away in the dining room!! haha 

It is also nice to have such a handy husband, he helps my ideas come to life! 

I love a store called bella vita in Collierville. I get several ideas from them.

My favorite thing were these frames made out of fence post. They can be a little bit expensive so i decided we could make them. I think Jonathan did a great job!

Here is a pic from Bella Vita.....

Here is what we made....


The next thing we copied to save a little moola, was the bedding. I have been eyeing bedding at Mango Street Baby for over a year and always said if we had a girl that this is what we would use. Lucky us get TWO!!
The bedding is from Serena and Lily. I love all their stuff and have several friends who have used them. I never thought i would make it, much easier to purchase. Then i found out i would have to buy two so making them made a little more sense!!
I ordered the fabric for the bumper from the website and then Amber and my mom found the ribbon, and other fabrics for the bed skirt and cording around the bumper. They did a great job!
Here is the Serena and Lilly bedding...

Here is what they did...

I even got the same Jenny Lind beds, which are so classic i love them!!

For the chair we ordered a glider/rocker and ottoman from Baby Time, we got it covered in green minky dot which matches the green on the bedding and the changing pad cover. Here is a pic of the chair but it has different fabric on it. Don't you think i will just melt into it!!


Last but not least Jonathan and I were fortunate to inherit some dressers. The best part was that they were pretty much identical, just needed to be painted. The 6 drawer one was mine when i was little and the yellow one was Jonathan's. We decided to use my dresser for the changing table, the only problem was that it was too short. Jonathan put legs on the bottom and that made it perfect. We sanded and painted both dressers than replaced the knobs with crystal ones. They look great! I don't have a before of my dresser. It was already white, we just added the legs and knobs

Jonathan's Dresser

Much better...


We still have curtains to finish, i will post a picture when those are done. They are pink and white silk stripes and we are putting pink and green fringe down the center. I love curtains and feel like they add so much to a room, so i cant wait to put those up.
The room will be complete when our two doodles get here!! I cant wait...only 8 more weeks max!!!
