Abigail has been asking for a new room for quite some time, and we finally worked on it this summer. She had this for her room before:
My Father in law made her the bed when she had just turned 2. She used it for 8 years, and now we have passed it on to a cousin.
This is her new room:
She is using her aunt Katie's old bedroom set. Katie is home on maternity leave and has been the driving force in design and getting things done. She loves to work on room decorations. The letters are from JoAnn.
We stamped the circles using 2 retired stamp sets, Rivoting and Sweet Shapes. Katie painted the stripes while I was in Madison to match the bedding.
I bought this chair at Target and then Katie picked up 3 canvases and we traced the flowers from the bedding onto vellum paper. We then cut them out and traced them on the canvas and painted. Katie has made an adorable canvas in each of her boy's rooms, so she has had practice.
It was really fun to do, and I love how it turned out!
Katie dressed this up with ribbon and other embellishments to make it fit the room.
We saw some adorable mobiles on Etsy, and Katie tackled making one for Abigail. I bought the gold ring at JoAnn's and Katie had picked up several sheets of paper to coordinate with the room. My punches came in handy for all the different sizes of circles. Fishing line was used to hold it all toghter. Many knots were tied.
All that is left is to make a window seat cushion and cornice board for the window.
