Okay I am finally posting pictures of the new house.
I am 99% done with one room...Adalynn's. I had originally thought about chevron walls but went with stripes instead due to ease and lack of time. Her bedding was grey and pink from our first daughter but I wanted to make her room feel different and special for her. I had bought the matching quilt from PB that went with the bedding and to this day I cannot figure out why. What does a baby need a $100 quilt for? They cannot even use blankets. Either way I decided to hang the quilt on the wall and make a book sling to hang below it. I found some fun fabrics and got to work following this blog.
One of my favorite things about this project is that the fabric is a list of flowers. My father owned a greenhouse and called me Petunia when I was little. Although you cannot see it here Petunia is listed on the front of her book sling. So this is a way of doing something to put a little of my Dad is Adalynn's room.
I also used the fabric to make a matching teething rail for the crib. For some reason both of my girls seem to think they are part rabbit and need to chew on EVERYTHING with their little buck teeth. I have tried two other plastic rails from Babies R Us and none worked because my daughter always found out how to get them off. This one is way cuter, did not take long to make, inexpensive and she has not figured out how to get it off yet. To make one of your own check out this blog.
(I set her down in the crib to take a pic and on cue she began gnawing on the rail)
I still have some fabric letters to hang over the changing table and the closet is going to get painted but for now I am calling this one done.
