When my mom was here last week for Faith's party we went to the neighborhood rummage sale. We got a lot of great stuff - all for Faith of course! One of the items we got was a Pottery Barn look-alike headboard and footboard. It is blue and we are going to paint it a soft cream. It is absolutely the most perfect bed set and was exactly what I had in mind. The best part was that it was.....are you ready......$15.00. Yes! just fifteen dollars. A similar set on PBK's retails for $749.00. I LOVE a good bargin and the bed being cute just makes it a homerun.
So hopefully, baby number 2 will arrive sometime next year. Faith will be two then (hard to believe she'll be a walking, talking toddler), and will be at the right age to move out of the nursery and into her big girl bedroom. Her new room will be Derek's current office, and his office will move into the dog room. Derek's office is painted a really soothing shade of green, so my mom and I have decided to do a pink and green shabby chic room.
The walls are going to stay green, and the furniture will be cream. We will do bedding and accents in pink. Here are some pics of accessroies I have found online that have the feeling of what we plan on doing...

(I love the flowers on that duvet cover, paired with a soft pink quilt...)
(A sparkly, vintage-looking chandelier in her room would be so lovely...... or maybe a butterfly chandelier...)
(I like this nightstand, but I would replace the nob with a crystal one maybe like pink butterfly one below...)
(I would pair this table lamp with a pink shade...)
(I was thinking that I could paint a decorative pink box on the wall and place Faith's initals inside it or these beautiful butterfly mirrors....)
(I LOVE this rug!)Faith's big girl room would be big enough for her bed and a little play space. I thought I could get her a vintage kitchenette set from Target)
My mom bought this table set for Faith for $8.00. A love of bargins runs in the family! I think we will paint the top of the table pink and add a vintage rose in the center. I can already picture having tea parties at this table.
Well, what do you think? I think this will become the most perfect little girl's room any little princess could ever want!!!
