Ryann's nursery

We are D-O-N-E!! WAHOOOO!

Let's just refresh ya'lls memory (and mine!) of what her room looked like before:

                            
Oh yeah, now I remember...a hodge podge of a mess that used to be an organized guest bedroom and quickly became the "Quick! Throw it in there on the bed and shut the door" room! Yikes, I'm a little embarrased that my organized self let that happen. So now I think it is safe to say I have redeemed myself. I feel much, much better about how this room looks now. In fact, I just LOVE it. It is so girly and just.what.I.wanted!!!
 
So without further adieu...
 
I really wanted a monogram to be in her room of some sort...so I searched and searched and eventually thought to check out Etsy which has become one of my new very favorite sites! I just love it- so many cool, handmade things that help promote craftiness and stay at home mom's business.  I knew I wanted the vinyl art because I have used it in other parts of the house and really have been very pleased with it. This was THE item which took 2 weeks to get and I was so frustrated about:
                                                                                              


 



Luckily Brian new how to put these on ...I definitely don't have the patience or the skill. I would have

screwed it up. For sure.

 

so as soon as it arrived, we were both up the stairs to get it on the wall...

It actually came with a hot pink birdie too that sat on the name but we decided to go sans birdie...

Everything in her room I wanted to tie together with the green, white and hot pink polka dots so I tried to stick with things that blended or were in the same color range...it actually all started with her bedding:

and the ideas came from there. This was Riley's crib and the pink gingham sheet was hers too but we also have a yellow one that we will alternate in and out. Riley also gave her little sister that pink bunny lovie in the crib. So sweet.

Next came the windows- this window faces North in the backyard so it is a colder room and has a lot fo light that comes in. I wanted something with a blackout liner to help with that.

Hot pink polka dots, of course...

The changing table was also Riley's...

and to finish the curtains off we chose these butterflies:

which we also used as doorknobs on the closet but they are really knobs for a dresser:

I'd say this little girl is good to go on clothes and diapers...which aren't going to last long at about 80 diapers a week. HA.

Her dresser is next to the door on the right when you come in the room and so I had this "dilemma" of sorts trying to figure out what I wanted to put on the wall...

The search was on... so I was very happy when this showed up today right as I got home from work...4 days early. I heart Target, not only because of their fast shipping...

My mom found this and I knew this was IT.

On the wall it went- no time wasted...

I also ordered this frame and put her picture in it:

 So here is what you really see when you open her door and walk in:

We've got her swing, bassinet, and bouncer all assembled, and her bag is packed ( mine is NOT). Everything is washed, organized, put away or hung up. She won't be sleeping in her room for a long time but just to know it's done is a good feeling. Her pacifiers and bottles are cleaned and stored away too.

 I think we are officially ready! So c'mon Ryann, we're ready when you are!
