Make Room for Maggie!

We've been eager to get started on Maggie's room. We had some paint colors and bedding picked out, so we went to work as soon as it came in. Here is the room transformation:


We weren't sure about the green as we started to paint. It looked a lot like the green that you might see on a glow-in-the-dark toy! But it matched up really well with the bedding.


Dana got in on the painting too. We kept the windows open and fan going so that the fumes didn't get to her.


Here is a view of our bedding. We thought it was full of really fun colors and prints. I bet Maggie will love it!



Here is the view from the doorway. Dana is a decorator extraordinaire! She had a great idea to paint the butterflies and make them match the bedding. Then we found the letters and painted those pink with green dots.



Here is our dresser. We found the side table and the dresser at a flea market. A little bit of paint and some new hardware...viola!




Here is the view from beside the crib. Our bedding set came with the 3 art pieces, which fit nicely above the changing table. Jo-Jo loves the new room, especially the fuzzy pink rug!

We've had a lot of fun getting Maggie's room ready. Now we're just playing the waiting game. 3 more months!!
