Girly Bedrooms

There is nothing more fun (to me) than getting to design and create fun spaces for my kids! 

I am luck enough to have been able to create 3 different spaces for my kids... so far!

Today I thought I would feature Mckenna and Norah's rooms... I really love them! 

Yes, I realize I am biased! Ha!

First up is Norah's Room!

When I was pregnant with her I had envisioned a room that was soft and light. A direct opposite of Mckenna's bright and vibrant room. Here is her room:

Light Purple, Soft Grey and White

I made the mobile hanging in the corner/center of the room.

 I will be posting a little "how to" about that in the coming weeks!

 

Her room is pretty big, so I was able to add the side table with lamp. I didn't have these pieces in Mckenna's nursery. The rest of the furniture was from Mckenna's nursery.
I love featuring their newborn pictures above the change table/dresser. Reminds me daily of how tiny and peaceful they were!
I made the bow holder above the bookshelf, as well. Super easy project... coming soon!

 Here is Mckenna's bright and vibrant toddler room. She loves this room!
I had a HARD time finding bedding that was appropriate for her age that was Queen sized...
who knew?!
This ruffle set came from Target... I stumbled upon it on Black Friday 2011 in a sleepy fog around 5am!  Its a "teen" set but I thought it was fun!

I had bought the curtains before the bedding... what a silly thing to do! Oh Well!
I wish we could afford custom built ins for her around that window!

I just LOVE here dresser! Its HUGE!!!
This fun frame above her dresser is a wood design from Michaels that I painted. The photo is very creatively mounted in it, as these are pieces that can be created into anything.... its the same piece above in Norah's room as a bow holder!

And just because I randomly have a picture on my computer... this was the original nursery we had for Mckenna in our first house! Sniff sniff! It seems like that was soooo long ago! 

We didn't know her gender, so this was our neutral room! It took FOREVER to pain those stripes!

 

Couple weeks after Mckenna's arrival!

 

Thanks for visiting our girly spaces!! Hope they inspire spaces for your little ones!!!

Kids Rooms

This week on Kelly's Korner she is featuring kids rooms. 

I am excited to share the different rooms I have done for Mckenna and Norah!

When I was pregnant with Mckenna we did not know her gender, so we put together a gender neutral nursery for the baby. 

When Mckenna arrived we added some "girlie" touches to the room to make it special for her!

Here is a link to more pictures of her room as a neutral room, as well as when we added girlie touches!

When we moved into our current home in August of 2010, Mckenna was just about a year old, so we were in between a nursery and starting to think about a big girl room for her. We painted the walls the same yellow from her nursery at the old house and then added hot pink accents to the room. 

Here is her room for the first year or so that we lived in our house. 

Once we moved her into her big girl bed when she turned 2 we started turning the room more into a big girl room. 

Here is the link to the first post I did on her room.

Here is the link to the second post I did on her room.

When we found out we were having another girl I was so excited to do another girl room! Since Mckenna's room was so bold and bright, I wanted to go soft and relaxing!

Here is the link to the first post I did on Norah's room

Here is the link to the second post I did on Norah's room

Thanks for stopping by to view our rooms! Hope you enjoyed seeing them!

Norah's Nursery

Norah's nursery is finally done!! 

Wahoo! 

Here is the link to my first post on Norah's nursery. 

I have finally added the finishing touches! 

Welcome to the room!

View of the whole room as you enter...

 View straight on of the crib with her name added!

I chose to do a name vinyl for above her crib

I had it picked out a couple of days before she was born and was able to order it right away... 

I love how easy Etsy is! Then 5 easy minutes to hang it and it was done!

Above the rocker I changed out one of the frames and added her birth announcement to it! 

I have also added a couple of pictures framed throughout the room!

I added the prints above her dresser/changing table! 

We had the Bella Baby pictures printed and ordered right away, as well!

 I love how easy things are!

And the little princess herself! Snoozing as Mommy added the finishing touches to her room! 

We love you Norah!

Baby Sister's Room Reveal

I am so excited to post some pictures of Baby Sister's room! It is just about done... a few final tweaks before she gets here and then the finishing touches after her arrival!!

The BIG Debut!

When you walk into her room the crib is on the right, full back wall.
Once she is here and has a name we will add it above her crib!
Hanging above to the left is a paper mobile that I made for her room.

We didn't do a full bedding set this time around. She has a white bed skirt and then I picked out a purple/grey/white print sheet from Pottery Barn to go with the room (or planned the room around)

Moving to the right is her dresser/changing table

The frames will hold her newborn pictures once we get them, similar to what we did in Mckenna's nursery
The grey bin on the dresser houses diapers and wipes.
The door goes out into the loft/hallway/playroomMoving along is her bookshelf and bow holder next to her closet door

The bow holder is the same frame that I have in Mckenna's room above her dresser, just painted a different color and turned the opposite way! So fun!
You can see the toy basket we made over spring break on the bottom shelf!
Next is her rocker/glider along with a new end table and lamp that I got for her room.
I had wanted a table set up like this in Mckenna's nursery, but we really didn't have the space in her room. So happy we do now!

A close up of the rocker and end table.
I will have to take some better pictures of this area of the room once the blinds are up!Wall frames...
The first is the same scripture quote that we had in Mckenna's room:
"Every good and perfect gift is from above." James 1:17
The other frame currently holds an ultrasound picture, but will hold her birth announcement once we have them.

Back around to the mobile and crib

Closer look at the mobile. I am really happy with how it turned out! I read quite a few tutorials before finally deciding to merge parts of different ones and creating my own how to!

The Closet is FULL!
Ha! This was one of the hardest things with baby #2 compared with #1.... This closet has so much in it already it is crazy! It isn't as organized and neat as I would really like, but I just don't have any other way of really putting it together at this point! It will all be in use soon enought!

The itty bitty clothes!!
Bins on the shelf house hats, shoes, diaper covers and bibs!

So that is the sneak peak at her room! Again, I am really happy with how it has come together!
I can't wait until she is here and every little piece can be complete!

Kelly's Nursery Tour

I am linking up today with Kelly's Korner for the Shows Us Your Life Home Tour!

This week she is featuring nurseries.

I am going to show the pictures of Mckenna's first room.... we moved when she was 10 months old and are in the transition between baby & big girl room right now. The room was planned as gender neutral and then we added the pink touches upon her arrival!

This was Mckenna's room before we knew she was a girl.... cute, gender neutral and ready for a little prince or princess!

View from the doorway

Straight in front of you from the hallway door


Back when the diaper cake was still assembled :(

Art work that I made to go with the animals on the bedding

Yes, all that clothing and we didn't even know the gender!!!

Book/Reading corner

At our baby shower each guest brought a book for baby instead of a card! Such a great idea and now we have TONS of books!

This is Mckenna's room when she was 2 weeks old! How quickly things change!!

We added her name in pink, pink tie backs on the curtains and the little words above the window.

We also added the frame pictures of her newborn shots above the dresser/changing table.

We had this sign made for her bedroom door.... it lists on of her birth stats...

We are HUGE Sox fans!

Thanks for checking out our pictures!!
