Avery's Room

We are still a work in progress....we need to add the butterflies, dragonflies, and ladybugs to the walls, but this will give you a general idea of how her room is going to look:

We still have to add the flower border to the bottom of this wall.


Avery's bedding is all being made by my mom (love ya mom!!). She finished the comforter but needed to measure the crib for the bedskirt, etc. The bed converts to a toddler then one piece is used as a full-size headboard later. The crib was a very generous generous gift from Paul's grandparents. Thank you Grammy and Daddy Sonny!!


This is a dresser that my parents purchased for Avery unfinished, my mom painted it and then my mother-in-law and I stenciled it. It was our first attempt at stenciling and sure was fun. We still have to add the knobs and may do some sponge butterflies on it.



This toy chest belonged to Paul when he was a boy. We are going to stencil some on it too!! The cradle was made by my great-great-great grandfather,has been used for several generations and was given to me when I was born. I remember playing alot with my dolls in that cradle. The blanket that is in the cradle was made for me by my maternal grandmother who passed away two years ago. She was an excellent seamstress and I treasure this heirloom.



Avery has her very own bookshelf hanging from the wall. We tried to make it height appropriate so she can pick and choose as she wants. Maybe she will inherit my love of reading.



I made these letters after I saw some similiar in the Company Kids catalog. I am too cheap to pay $10 a letter so I just made my own.

As you can see everything in her room has been hand-picked and holds special meaning whether it is old or new. As we complete the finishing touches in the next few weeks I will be sure to add more pictures.

I am off to have lunch with some amazing new friends.....
