Lil Bit's Room

I finally finished Lil Bitsy's room last week. I think it turned out great. Better in person than in the photos. I hope you like it too!

The tree decal was the jumping off point for the room.
I found it at Kohl's this summer.


Maggie's crib with her name above it!
Thanks to B-man for helping me put up her name as well as the tree.

Changing table and curtains.
Thanks again to BeBe, Aunt R, and Aunt B!

Glider and dresser.

Her "coming home" outfit is hanging from the hook.

I decided on this lamp from Target.
My friend Valerie made the "M" bow board for us.
I loved the green and yellow (not shown) bird hooks I found on an etsy site.

Remember the tractor painting I made for Boo?
Well, I painted these owls for Bit.

It's a painting of a Mama and Daddy owl with their little girl and boy owls (just like our family).

BeBe surprised us with this owl pillow made from the fabrics used in the curtains and crib skirt.
A little owl told me that PawPaw helped with this project too.



B-man had a security blanket when he was a little boy that he affectionately named ya-ya.
Lil Boo also has a ya-ya that he sleeps with and that he takes to MDO that Granny and Grandpa gave him. So, I've been on the look out for a ya-ya for Bitsy, but haven't seen anything that I loved or that wasn't ridiculously priced. So, I decided to make one! It turned out pretty good.

Front

It has one little paisley tag on it.

Boo's ya-ya has a lot of tags, but the only one he wants to hold is the manufacturer's tag. So, we thought we'd make it simple...only one tag to choose from and find in the dark!

Back

With tag sticking slightly outside the ruffle...again for easy finding!

Another view

It looked easy enough to make, but it was another labor of love. I followed this tutorial (for the most part) to make it. But, I had a terrible time gathering the satin. I kept tearing the thread which was so frustrating because I didn't have any trouble with the ruffles for the crib skirt.

So, during one of my periods of insomnia, I found this site at 2:30 in the morning that had a great way to cheat on the ruffles. It is so much easier this way!

So, that's it! I know it's finished because when I go in her room and sit in the glider, everything just feels right. Nothing seems missing. That's when you know you're done decorating...when it stops nagging you! :) Now, we just need a Lil Bit to put in it...but not for another 14 days please!
