Finally!

Okay, I'm finally going to reveal the girls' room.  I love it!  John worked really hard to get it just the way I want it.  He meticulously painted the stripes which were a bit of a challenge based on the fact that our walls are textured.  But, they turned out awesome!  Here is the view from the door.

The stripes are on a cloud white background.  The green stripe is the same green as was in Cora's nursery.  The pink stripe is one shade darker than the pink on the other 3 walls.  I love how it turned out.  I really wanted stripes, but was afraid that it would be too circus-y to cover all 4 walls with them.  I think this turned out just perfectly.

Here is the side wall.

Carys will be sleeping in the same crib/bedding as her big sis.

Here is Cora's bed. . .now with sheets and a comforter!

I want to get a couple more of those bins to put under her bed.  I plan on adding some decor to the boxes, but I'm just not sure when that's going to happen!

The kitchen/reading area.  We like to think of it as an efficiency style apartment!!

Since we were needing to combine two sleeping areas, some things had to go.  Cora lost her bookshelf due to lack of space.  However, I found a tutorial for these cute rain gutter bookshelves on this blog.

I love how they turned out (even if it was a bit of a comedy of errors to get them made and hung).  And, I especially love that she has access to her books from her bed.  My little legal eagle will tell you, "Remember the rule, Mama!  You stay on the bed!"  

Here is the wall next to Cora's bed.

And, the final wall where the door is located.

Of course, what princess pink room is complete without a windowsill full of dinosaurs.

Be warned.  Should you dare to try to identify them, Cora will correct you if you are wrong!  I speak from experience!

And, lest you think that Cora is lonely in that big 'ol bed, may I present the menagerie of animals that keep her company.

So far she's had a really easy adjustment to her new room and her new bed.  Hopefully, she won't mind sharing with Carys once tiny baby is ready to be in the crib.  I guess we'll find out soon enough!
