Brynn's newly decorated room

Ok, so I'm pretty terrible at remembering to take "before" pictures.  The only one I have of Brynn's room is from before we bought the house.  But basically, we only had added furniture: her crib-turned-toddler bed, red toy box, dresser with pig knobs (left over from farm-themed nursery in last house) and a glider chair and ottoman.

I didn't really have plans to decorate it yet, but when Braden went on a trip to Louisiana with just he and Brynn around Easter, I figured it was an ideal time to paint it.  So I got to work.  Her room took quite a bit of effort and materials:
1. Paint whole room
2. Make stencils for butterflies, emblem over bed, and growth chart
3. Paint butterflies, emblem, and growth chart
4. Get new knobs for dresser and night stand (night stand was in closet, so we switched it with red toy box).
5. Pick out new bedding
6. Get new mattress and boxspring
7. Take apart crib/toddler bed to use just the back as the headboard
8. Order new curtains and and curtain rod and install (note: panels were on clearance at Bed Bath and Beyond for $5.00!  Nice!)
9. Buy white lamp, lamp shade, and ribbon.  Hot glue ribbon onto lamp shade.

And here we have Brynn's newly decorated room:

Brynn loves her new room!  She slept great last night and when I got up this morning, Ethan and Brynn were in her bed looking at books.  It's a popular spot since it's the biggest bed of the kids' beds.

Needless to say, now that Ethan and Brynn's rooms are painted, Blythe is very anxious for us to paint her room!  I think I should be able to do it in the next couple of weeks.  Stay tuned.

Seven feet, huh? Expecting her to be be tall? Just kidding, her room really is adorable.

Awesome room!

I bet Brynn looks tiny in her new big bed. I remember how small Ada looked when she started sleeping in her "big girl bed" and that was only a twin.
