Our Weekend Project

Here's the result of our weekend project:

I am pleased with the way it came out.  I took  inspiration from a Land of Nod catalog, but wasn't willing to pay so much!  We had to go to several places to find stuff that was similar and had the same overall feel.  We junked and donated a lot of stuff, shopped, painted, organized and put together furniture.  We are still waiting for the dresser and the bed for which I managed to find matching pink and gray Victorian style quilted bedding.  We will probably frame some pictures that we took around San Francisco to hang on the currently bare walls.  It took me and husband, with help from my mom, from Friday night to Sunday night to get everything together.  But,  given that we started from zero, I think we did a good job.

Emma already loves her new room - she wants to sit at the little play table all the time, and she was so upset when we had to kick her out while we painted and while we let the room air out.  Tonight, she was drawing and playing with puzzles at the table until bedtime.
