where she sleeps...

Only a week later than promised but that pretty much sums up how I roll these days. I finally have pics of Reese's room! I had a really good time decorating it. I tried to be creative and make it represent "her." It's been close to done for a while but I ordered her frames late and spent forever deciding on colors. Dallas (and my dad who has had to hang everything) joke that it's only done for now. I get these ideas and I start changing everything around! Oh well.
Right when Reese turned two, she looked at her Daddy and said, "I no sleep in a crib. I a big durl." I came home the next day to find a full mattress right in her floor. Oh, yes, he did it. Daddy could have cared less. Uhm, yeah, we're not leaving it like that. Reese was so good, never slept in her crib again. We did get our poor child a bed and slowly after that I decided on everything for her room.
After months pottery barn, land of nod catalogs and nothing looking like "her" I went fabric shopping. My mom made all of her bedding & pillows, my neighbor custom made her curtains, etc. I am really, really happy with it! Here's some pics:
Princess's Room! Mom was my litle factory worker this fall and did an amazing job! She gives kookoobearkids a run for their money...Bed is pottery barn teen. I fell in love with it instantly! I wanted to her to have a double bed. I always liked big beds when I was a kid, so here it is. I liked how shabby chic it was...(Thanks Papa for the bed!!)

Her frame over her bed...

another angle...

Curtains a la my fabulous neighbor Stephenie! The vanity I got a year ago at the PB outlet for $130.

Phone from Papa that gets used 20 times a day by Reese...

My girlfriend Michelle got Reese this last weekend. SO sweet & it matched perfectly!

Both sides of the vanity...I went to Michael's and bought boxes, cheap journals, etc and covered them. Voila! Threw some bows on the baskets and it's done!

Curtains...She put these cute little daigly things (real technical) on the curtains and I thought it was so cute!

Nightstand clock, lamp...Still trying to decide if I want to paint the teacups...

Nightstand. Got it at PB kids as a floor sample for 60% off...

Shelf on the other side of the room...(I still need pics in one frame)

Her chiffioner. Got it at an antique store for $175...oh, and that's her storyboard framed above it!

Book shelf I got a couple of years ago at pb on clearance $125...(made the birdhouse, well, painted it...ha!!)

And my favorite part! I have LOVED (more of an obsession) Louis Antoinette chandeliers forever and always wanted one (the knockoffs are brutal) but wasn't paying $650 for a light. Got this from a friend who was moving for cheap, went to Joann's and got the shades, covered them in her polka dot material, hot glued the pom poms on, then mom made the stripe cord cover to tie it all in! I love it...

Spray painted this ceiling mount for $8. to tie in more green...

I'll share her bathroom next. I have it all done except one thing I ordered 4.5 months ago from kookoobearkids that is still not in (I'm not bitter) and my fabulous mom is back in her factory making the roman shade for the bathroom. Hope everyone's having a great week! I spent yesterday with another college friend at my house shooting her 3 week old little boy and today my sista is here for the night! Lots of fun!
