Kathryn's Big Girl Bedroom

Right before Kathryn's third birthday, we made the big switch from the nursery to her big girl room. Up until this point, Kathryn had slept in her crib (full crib, not converted out), and she loved sleeping in there. She never tried climbing out, and she never complained about being in there. However, I was determined that she needed to be out of her crib before turning three.

We decided to make our guest bedroom her new room. Kathryn's Mimi and Papa gave us some maple furniture that belonged to Mimi's grandparents. It is a maple set and very pretty. The furniture was taken to Camden to be refinished and painted a flat white. I liked the furniture before having it refinished. Once it came back, it is definitely my favorite furniture in the house. I LOVE the white paint on it as well as the new hardware (glass handles and pulls). I wish I would have taken before pics, it looks drastically different now. Mimi and Papa also bought a new light fixture for the room. We had the room painted a pale pink, and replaced the window shades with new blinds. Momma Pam bought a curtain rod and hung the rod and new curtains. Over the summer, I bought the Haley Pottery Barn bedding...I just couldn't resist! I wanted this room to be very girly since her nursery was not. We did not find out the gender when we were pregnant, so everything in her nursery is gender neutral. Therefore I was ready for lots of pink and girly touches. I still have a few things left to do...mostly wall art. I need to have a mirror professionally hung above the long dresser because the mirror is very heavy. And, I need to come up with some sort of art to put on the wall above the bed. Other than that, the room is complete and I am pleased with the outcome!
