Savannah's Room

I've been waiting and waiting to do this post until I felt Savannah's room was totally ready.  Well I don't guess that ever happens, but it is as close to ready as it will ever be I think!  Be prepared for lots of pics, cause I want to put them all in one post and I took tons of pics along the way. 

 So we forgot to take a pic before any of the baby stuff started arriving, but this is a good view of the 'before' paint color.

And here's the other side of the room before paint.

 Here I am painting the medallion that will go above the ceiling fan in her room.

Here's after the paint job my wonderful husband did! [I'm the cutter-inner, and he's the roller. it works well.]

the boys are like, why are we doing all this work in here?

the night we received and put together the crib.  I knew what day to expect it to arrive, and I told Birc that we would be putting it together as soon as it arrived!

He was thrilled, as you can see. 

I actually was, though!

All done! [sorry these seem to be out of order a little, you can see our paint swatches on the wall there, we hadn't painted yet!]

Caddo is thinking, 'what a strange gift to give us, but I'm sure we'll figure out a way to play with this contraption'. :)

The day I found the bumper and crib skirt [that my mom and I were planning to sew] for less than the fabric cost in a local store! SCORE!

curtains just finished!

My favorite pillow I made.  [we are leaving the double bed in her room, cause we will need it again someday soon and I don't want to put it in our stuffy attic!]

The rest of the pillows I made for the bed.  We turned the bed sideways in hopes of having more of a day bed.

 And then we painted a stencil on the wall.

 Stencil finished!

 A lamp I got at a consignment place and repainted to match her room.

 I made this bow holder [with Birc's help] and it is just chicken wire so the bows and such can clip anywhere!

her little shelf of gifts she's received, plus the dress both Anna and I came home from the hospital in and I hope Savannah comes home in too!

Her crib and shelf and monogram, plus my great-granddad's rocker that my mom had re-caned.

A view of the whole room ready for her arrival!

The door sign my friend Valarie's mom made, plus a cute little pillow door hanger that is supposed to be filled in with her birth stats when she arrives! Love!

 A little toy basket filled with some toys she's received.

 A little table I found and repainted and put a few things on.

 Her changing table was such a debacle-I knew I wanted an antique chest of drawers for her so she could use it later on, but I COULD NOT find what I wanted for months! I wanted it to be stained instead of painted, to bring some color into the room, and seriously I looked at antique stores and antique shows, in three cities, and finally found this one that I love and my parents refinished for Savannah. 

As you can see, she's received TONS of books so hopefully she loves to read like her parents do!

One of my employees has awesome painting skills, and I asked her to put some bible verses on a few canvases for me for Savannah's room.  This one is a little bright for now but will be great later and so it is on the door.

Above you can see a closer look at the pillow my mom made with Savannah's monogram on it. On my great-granddad's rocker. LOVE. :)

The other two canvases I had painted.  One is Psalm 139:14 and the other is Psalm 118:24.

I think that's all I could possibly put on this post, but I wanted to have it all in one. It could be the longest post ever so if you made it down here then pat yourself on the back!
