Maris' Room Reveal!

Long time no see...again!
Here is Maris' room.  Hope ya'll like it!

The room was inspired by a painting by Lulie Wallace.  I just love her work!!  I showed my Dad and he whipped up something similar and it was perfect for the room.  I love having such a talented Dad!  The crib and crib sheet were re-used from Malone's room.  The lovely curtains are this fabric and my very talented mother in law 
sewed them for me.  The zebra is from Amazon.


The mirror is from Kirkland's.  I originally wanted to paint it white but my sister and Mom convinced me to leave it gold.  I love the richness it brings to the room.  The lovely antique dresser was a Craiglist find for $125.  My husband painted it with Annie Sloan chalk paint in Greek Blue.  LOVE!!!  The handles were black and we spray painted them an antique bronze to match the mirror.  I wish I had a better pic of the lamp.  It's gorgeous!!!  My mother in law and I were shopping at Home Goods and saw the lamp.  The color scheme wasn't really even decided yet but I knew I had to have it!  My MIL bought it for the room and it turned out perfect!  Thanks Lulu!


The wicker basket was my Grandmother's and it was used in my niece's room as well.  The chair is from my living room and it goes great in here for the time being.  I needed a nursing chair so it will do! My MIL whipped up that lovely throw pillow too.  So glad that I have talented people in my fam!


These ledges were $10 a pop.  So great for her books!


The top left print is from Little Cozy House on Etsy.  It's the bible verse, Provebs 31.  I love it!  The top middle pic is a dish towel from Lisa Rupp Designs on Etsy that I framed.  The Bon Jour sign is from a sweet friend who also has her own Etsy shop called Bleu Print Shoppe.  She also did our Christmas Cards/Announcements.  They were awesome!  The bottom left pic is a picture that my Grandmother painted that fits perfectly into the room.  The bottom middle painting is from my talented Daddy.  Maris' announcement is also included on this wall.  Sister pics are planned for the other two frames.





The light fixture is from Ikea.  I love it and it casts this super cool shadow onto the wall that my girls love to look at.  The wall colors are Love and Happiness by Benjamin Moore and Cool Lava by Benjamin Moore. 

So that is the room!  It came together just the way that I wanted and I plan on moving both girls into this room and making Malone's room the playroom.  IF we stay here that long.  Hope you all like it!

So...a lot has happened in a year!


We planted a garden and by "we" I mean Calley.

 

We got prego with #2


3 of us got prego at work.  Well, not actually at work but you know what I mean.


We took Malone to her first Ranger game.  She loved it!  Gentry is her favorite player.  Why you ask?  Because she wants to hug him.  Me too sister, me too.


We took our first ever family vacation.  It was great!  Malone loved the beach.  
Can't wait to do that as a family of 4!


Poor Calley hurt his foot.  32 stiches...ouch!


My belly got HUGE!  


Then this beauty was born.  Can't wait to blog her birth story.  
Much easier than last time.

Happy New Year from our family of four!

Score!

I love TJ Maxx! I got some amazing steals this week.
I have been drooling over the Penguin Classics books for some time. But with a $25 price tag, it would take some time for me to build a nice collection.
I ran across this beauty at the Maxx for only $12 in perfect condition...score!


I also got this decor coffee table book, Undecorate for only $19.

There are some really beautiful pictures and I love the concept of this book. Sometimes we can be too fussy or intentional with our decorating and this book promotes just going with what you love and not worrying so much about if it looks "just right."


Two more reasons why I am a Maxxonista!!

Family Pics!!

Thanks to Julie at Photo Jewels Photography for our awesome family pics! I know it wasn't easy with my, *ahem*, spirited child. I was actually shocked that we got the pics we did. She was way more interested in running and playing in the dirt than posing for pictures. She likes to keep things interesting. I think I sweated more in this photo shoot than I did on the day I gave birth to her. Oh well, this is life with a 20 month old right? Hope everyone likes the pics, Julie does amazing work!
