We moved Katherine to her big girl room some time ago and I have posted a picture here and there of her in the room but have not really dedicated any space to her new room. I am so glad that we mad ethe transition well ahead of Squeak's arrival. She loves her new room and we make a big deal of it whenever someone comes over to visit. She always takes them to see her big girl room and proudly shows them everything. Then she takes them to see Squeak's room.
I had the nightstand and dresser as a part of the bedroom suite that I used when single. I also had the queen size headboard and footboard. We moved that to the garage and bought a twin size from the same set (Broyhill Fonatana) off of Craig's list. There is so much more room in the room with the smaller bed. It is a set that is cute for a little girl but will not need to be replaced as she gets older. Now we just need to sell the queen. We did have a bed rail at first but it was becoming more dangerous to have it since she always wanted to climb over it. She fell off teh bed one time before she elarned to snuggle up against the wall. You can see on her bed her collection of "stuff" that has to be there every night. At last count there were 15 items including dolls, stuffed animals and blankets. I need to find a place to put them so that each night she chooses 1 or 2 to sleep with because it becomes a huge stall tactic to arrange everyone in their proper places to sleep. What a silly girl.
Here is a close up of the bedding. I bought it on clearance at Pottery Barn and love it. As Sam says it is girly without being a flower explosion. Right now we just have the quilt on the end of the bed because she still prefers to sleep on top of the sheet with a blanket over her like she did in the crib. It is easier to keep the bed made that way too.
This picture was in her nursery. It was painted by my friend Leah and matches the rug on the floor (sorry, no picture of the rug).
Here we have my childhood desk. We keep her crayons and paper out all the time and she periodically will go draw. I am keeping it in its original "vintage" color scheme which luckily matches her room. You can also see her name picture from her nursery and her doll house. I love that we have enough room for toys to go in her room now.
Here is her new bookshelf. Again, I love that all of those books are out of the den and in her room. I need to get more baskets for toys. I also plan to sew the curtains so that they are half the length because it is a short window. It will also help the room to be darker at nap time. Right now you can see we have a blanket hung to make it darker.
Here is the dresser, with a lot of space for clothes. Both of the pictures above the dresser are Katherine's footprints at different ages. I still need to work on the knick knacks. They are what I had in the room before. Some go great, others do not. For sure I need to replace the pictures in the frames because right now they are pictures of me and my friends or blank.
This is the final random corner with her laundy hamper, a chair with Grammy's quilt and a picture that I cross stitched. I am working on a companion cross stitch but considering the fact that the completed one took about 5 years and I have not picked up the other one in several years I am not going to keep a blank space on the wall for it.
