This was actually one of the real estate photos so has had lots of magical trickery done to it- the room is actually much smaller than it looks here and that rather *special* colour was a shade of dark mustard. Lovely! And rather dull and dark looking too- not so nice for a nearly two year old!
And here it is three weeks later!
Warehouse linen, alphabet print by Joe McMenamin, rabbit print by Olivia Bezett. Birth announcement was a gift, monogram cushion from Rixtrott
Bunting from Look Sharp, framed print of her baby feet, I made the hearts piece using all the lovely cards people sent us when she was born. Asta chair from Mocka
We knew we wanted to paint her room white( Resene Black White) so that it would reflect all the light that comes in through the French doors. Poor Action Dad had to do three coats to cover that mustard yellow!We kept the curtains as they were in great condition and decided not to carpet her room, but instead add a big rug which is actually an off cut of carpet which was over locked and came from Carpet Court
Her big girl bed was a Trade Me find and the linen is all from the Warehouse. The bunting is from Look Sharp in Auckland and we bought cheap blond wood frames from Kmart for her pictures.
I would like to add some pink decals ( probably spots) and she needs a lamp for bed time stories but other than that I am really pleased with the results. Oohhh and I also have added recovering her Mocka Asta chair to my never ending wish list of creative projects ( not that I know how to recover chairs but that's what YouTube and Pintrest is for!)
She is loving her room and we often find her in her bed during the day. So far she is staying in bed through the night but I'm not going to saw we have won that war yet and still expect to hear her little feet visiting us at 3am most nights.
