Big Girl Room

So, as promised, here are the pictures of Kati's SOON to be New room.

We're working on Kati "Big Girl" room - it's a work in progress. Lots of wrinkles on the new bedding, so please forgive, I just threw it on to see if it looked like what we wanted. It look better in person that we expected, so it's a keeper. It's called "Little MissMatched" because everything is reversible and stripes/dots, etc. It's fun, and best of all, it was Kati's favorite out of all the ones we had picked out.

Here is the curtains/valance (thank you Kris for talking me into ordering the valance).


I wanted to get a close up of the headboard. Kris painted the headboard and the nightstand (next to the bed in the following pictures). They were a dark brown, and he had the idea to paint. The white really makes it look more like a little girl's room and really looks good with the bedding. THANK YOU AGAIN DADDY! Great job painting (especially since a 2 year old was "helping" and touching it as you worked)!

The pillowcases are dots on one side and stripe or zigzag on the other. The colors are so fun. I hope Kati likes it for a long LONG time!

I just realized that I don't have the pillows on the bed. I'll take more pictures as we get more done in the room. We are currently looking for TV stand in white. You'll know why if I took a picture of the TV sitting on the floor in there. She doesn't have a TV in her current room, but in her new room, we thought it would be nice to have a TV so she can watch the Wiggles or Dora (her 2 favorite shows right now) in there and not in our room or the living room all the time. We'll see if this works, as she usually wants to be with us all the time.

See the nightstand! Doesn't it look good? He even bought a new handle for it! Now - for the real question... WHO thinks we should paint the room? It's a neutral color right now.... like Eggshell or something, like the rest of the house. We're taking votes.

Here is a link to the picture of it on amazon.com - you tell me if it's not cuter than the pictures. Ha.. (I bought it on JCP.com, but they are completely out, so they took the pictures off the website).

I should have done before and after shots of this room. Move over extreme makeover - I'm making a kids room fit for a queen (or princess at this point). It may take until 2008, but it will look great!

Love to all - Jami

PS - My pictures didn't turn out real well from The Wiggles Concert this week. It was a blast, but we forgot our camera, and the disposable didn't do real good.

*I CAN NOT believe that August is almost over! It's crazy! Time flies and we just get older. Ha - That's my new quote.
