Let's Take a Tour!

Happy Friday everyone!  Earlier in the week, I shared some photos from my daughter Nina's bedroom, specifically, her "reading corner."  It occurred to me that her room might not look the same for much longer, since we have begun to consider how to turn it into a "big girl's room" before her new little brother or sister arrives.

So, what better chance to show you some of my favorite parts of my baby's room?  Come on in!  Below, you can see one of my favorite things, the little "N" that I made for her door.  Isn't it sweet?

In this photo you can see her changing table and her precious newborn photos that a friend took for us.  You can also see the bookshelf that my husband built.  It goes completely around the perimeter of her room and I just love how it looks.  Plus, it gives us so much extra space for books and other things.

It may be hard to tell in the photos, but the bookshelf is about as tall as I am (5'2") so it will take awhile before Nina gets big enough to reach it herself!  Her walls are a pale pink color.

This little piece of artwork was a gift to my husband last Christmas.  It was so simple to do: I just bought a canvas at Hobby Lobby, painted it a pale green, and then enlisted the help of my sister to hold Nina still enough to capture her hand prints in paint!  

OK, now you can see that I go a little crazy with the personalization.  I have Nina's name all over her room!  These letters were a simple purchase at Michaels, and I probably painted them three or four times until I came up with this simple polka dot design. 

This little wooden frame was inexpensive (Michaels, too, I think) and I just did the same polka dot design as I did on the letters.  I actually bought a stippling sponge to create the dots.  (I have no idea what stippling is, but the sponge was a perfect circle so it worked for me!)

This might be my very favorite thing in Nina's room.  My best friend (also Nina's godmother) painted this simple wooden stool for her.  She is so artistic; I take no credit for the adorable design.  Isn't it precious?  Man, do I wish I could paint!

Hope you enjoyed the tour!  Have a great weekend!
