Baby Girls Room

When finding out we were having a little girl I was excited to get to decorate for a specific gender! I started PINNING like crazy on Pinterest!! haha The one room that REALLY caught my eye was this one…

I loved the teal and pink…I loved that it wasn’t too “baby” and would be easily turned into a “big girl” room one day! So...I just had to convince Yosh how cute this was AND get the right colors (which is very difficult for 2 color deficient people!)

Now…don’t get me wrong…Owen’s room is AMAZING…but it was all done gender neutral since we didn’t know if he was a boy or girl. For Owen we went surfer/ocean theme…and planned on adding pink Roxy stuff if “it” turned out to be a female. BUT It was a boy…and everything worked out great.

This was once our AWESOME friend painted our walls…it was so cool!!! I can’t seem to find any pics of his “baby” room all finished but this room went through a few transitions…depending on Owen’s sleeping situation.  It started with all white baby furniture (crib, dresser and cube organizer thingy)…he then slept in the pack-n-play NEXT to his crib…THEN to a toddler bed NEXT to his crib…AND NOW finally he’s in a big boy captains bed with a new refurbished dresser.

NOW on to our little lady’s room….FIRST we had to ADD a room. Yes our house is a 3 bedroom BUT we wanted to keep our guest room just that…its an extremely large room and we have outta towners stay with us from time to time; so we had to add a wall in our HUGE upstairs loft to make bedroom #4.

This is only HALF the loft…we sold the couches…and then construction would start a few months later…

Demo’ing and framing the wall done by Yosh and Kris…

Then hanging the drywall pieces was done by some guy Kris knows…

And yet another guy came in to do the actual dry-walling part…adding texture and stuff (which we found out LATER did kind of a shady job of it…BUT you can’t really notice unless you are looking for it!)

FINALLY came paint…3 walls are teal and the 1 raspberry wall is actually chalkboard paint!

We had our neighbors (who paint for a living) do it for us…and they weren’t fans of my choices…neither is/was my husband BUT I loved it!!! This past weekend Kris finished up by doing the electrical in our new wall, adding a ceiling fan and now the only thing Yosh needs to do it put the door on, which I’m in no hurry since it’ll be a while before shes even in her own room.

But Here is our Girls room…and I LOVE IT!

All the furniture we used with Owen…except the glider and ottoman…that’s the only new furniture we got for this baby girl.

Some of my favorite little accessories in her room are…
            

I love the pink poka-dot lanterns…super girly fancy lamp and the frame with our maternity pictures!

So this is her pretty much finished room…I’m proud of it…and totally love it!

Next thing we know we’ll be introducing our little lady to her new room….and someday she’ll love it like her brother and I do…everyday Owen has to go in there and “check on his sisters room” and HOPEFULLY one day it’ll grow on Daddy…and he’ll love it too! haha
