Like all new parents, I was imagining my baby's nursery long before she was born. All the cute little baby things and decorations. However, I knew it would never happen. We didn't have a bedroom for her. Her big brother was occupying the only other room in the house. Now, 2 years later, her big brother is off to college and I have an empty room, a blank canvas, and a precocious little girl about to turn TWO! The wonderful thing about waiting until your child is older, is that I know her personality so well, I know what colors she loves, and what her favorite books are already. This was ALL about her.
It took me only one week to prep, paint, floor, and decorate. I give credit to Eric for installing the carpet. A few more touches of bookshelves and toy storage and it will be totally complete. I absolutely LOVED making this room. I also loved how excited she was to see it transform into her own space. Josie calls it the "Yay-yo Room". Today she gets to jump on her bed for the first time. I will remember this always.
Here are some before and after shots
