Stella's New Room

We have completed part 2 of the big shift.

The boys are successfully downstairs,

and Stella has officially taken over their old room.

But first we had to do some serious overhauling

to make it into a room fit for a little girl.

It started with paint...hummingbird blue to be exact.

The inspiration for her room came when I walked through the fabric section

at Hobby Lobby and found some of the cutest fabrics I had ever seen!

I knew I wasn't capable of making something adorable out of it,

but I had some pretty creative and talented friends to help.

I covered canvases I already had with the fabric,

bought a lamp from Target and

trimmed it with matching ribbon (I can work a glue gun)

and painted the boys old bookshelf pink (spray paint is my favorite).

Preston came up with the picture arrangement,

and I think he did a fine job!

Grandma Lund bought her an Anywhere Chair for her first birthday.

Allie did all of the vinyl....the birds, the birdcages and the monogram.

Kinsey was my saving grace....she designed and made the quilt, the pillows

and the crib sheet. I was in awe at her creations! She went the extra mile!

I love the combination of fabrics with the cute buttons

and monogrammed S.

The birds add a fun touch, there's a few all around the room.

I ordered the tissue poms from Etsy

and got them fluffed with some serious help from a friend.

I was seriously in tears looking at all the detail

work on the quilt, and her name sewn on it.

A matching fitted sheet?

I didn't know that people in their homes could make these.

I thought it took a special machine in some far off country.

I'm dumb, I know. I really am clueless when it comes to sewing.

I ordered an enlarged version of her birth announcement on matte board from here.

The colors just happened to match perfectly.

We bought a new shelf that matches her crib and diaper changer.

I hung up her blessing dress

and her backpack that is waiting for preschool.

I found it monogrammed with "Stella" on it from PBK

but for the low, low price of $4.99 at a local store.

I can't believe it's done!

I dreamt it, and it happened

thanks to everyone that helped!

I think it's fit for a cute little girl,

just in time for her first birthday!
