Project: Lily's Room- Reveal!!

We are done with Lily's room! I really liked how it turned out. I think I may add some more wall decor later, but I can't really decide what I want to do, so I'll wait.

Since this room doesn't have any windows, I used a soft pink. I didn't want to use anything too bold or dark, which would make the room look smaller. Our room connects directly to this room, so she will be nice and close (just steps away!) without actually having her in our room. This idea makes me happy, because I remember being so overly cautious those first couple of weeks when Bobby was in our room. I was so paranoid about waking him!


Since we didn't have a lot of money to spend on her nursery, I was resourceful when thinking about furniture. Lily's dresser is my old dresser (my very first piece of furniture I ever bought new! ), the chair is a hand me down from Bobby, and while we were on our last storage unit run, I saw the yellow table and thought: 'Perfect'! I bought it on one of my Round Top trips. I think it looks so cute in her room! Her crib I got from Target online, and it was a gift from Lily's grandparents. (Thank you!)

The blanket, bed skirt and pillows were my own patterns. I am excited about how the bolster pillow turned out! I may sell them in my shop in the future...

I got the fabric for Lily's room from this Etsy shop, and I used an Amy Butler pattern from her book, Little Stitches for little ones, for the bumper pads. The pattern was so easy! I wish I had done that for Bobby's bumper...which I did on my own, and it didn't turn out quite so perfect! It's amazing what I learn with each new pattern I sew. Did you know they actually make bumper pads? Specifically designed to make crib bumpers? I had no clue! Such a novel idea!!

I've been working on Bobby's room too, so I will post pictures probably next week. :)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Project: Lily's room: I &hearts ruffles...and all things girly!

I am going to love having a girl! If nothing else then for the sewing projects alone! (kidding, of course!) I was on a sewing kick this weekend, and I started the pillow above at about 11:30 on Sat. night. I wanted to do some girly ruffles, which I had never done before. I was pretty sure I knew how to do them, but I looked it up online just to be safe. I think the ruffles turned out so cute! I am hooked for sure! This pillow is my pride and joy right now.

I also made some cute scalloped bunting to hang in Lily's room. I love all the colors...so fun!

The bunting would be perfect for a summer party or baby shower also!!
