We only have a 2 bedroom apartment, so I had to be creative making a little baby girl area for Charlotte in our bedroom. She will probably be staying in our room with us for the next year, or once Jude moves into a toddler bed. Don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.
Anyways, The cribette (it's bigger than a bassinet and smaller that a crib) is from my mom. It's like forty years old. Henry and Jude both slept in it. I put a fresh coat of paint and tightened att the screws and such.
I had to make her sheets because they don't make sheets that size. I also made her bumper pad.
The dresser is from my mom also, that was in tough shape. I threw a couple coats of paint on it and bought new drawer pulls. The mirror is from a church yard sale that I got for $1.50, again threw a fresh coat of paint and looks like new.
I made the basket liners and changing pad cover to match her sheets. Easy enough that I can make new ones to change out whenever I get board of that pattern. It's very summery. Already thinking about what colors I might use for the fall. It's so much cheaper than buying them at the store, plus it's one of a kind.
We have absolutely no closet space and I wanted to hang up Charlotte's dresses so I came up with the idea of using a coat rack that I got from our old church. I painted it and added more hooks so I had enough space to hang her clothes. It actually came out cute and it looks a little boutique like out on display. Man, girls are so much fun.
But I also like to make things nice for my boys. I am looking forward to decorate the boys room when we get their bunk beds.
I still have some things and ideas I want to do for Charlotte's "room". I'll post when something new is added to the space.
That's that.
Her "room" looks adorable..

ReplyDeleteI've seen this "room" in person, and it's just fantastic! Chic and classy. A lot of hard work went into it, and you can tell. Charlotte is one lucky girl!
