When I started designing Addie's playroom, I knew I would eventually be turning it into her bedroom once Eric and I decided to try for Baby #2. With that in mind, I tried to stick with a garden theme and use similar colors so that all of her nursery decor could easily transition into the new room. Here is a look at what Addie's Nursery looked like...
So cute isn't it? I think this room makes one sweet nursery, which is another reason I decided to use it for baby #2. Anyway, I wanted to be sure to reuse as much as I could in the playroom and aside from buying new furniture, I was able to reuse just about everything!
Here is Addie hopping around her new crib...
I added some hot pink ribbon to Addie's letters to give it a nice pop and tie in with the rest of the room. I also like how the hot pink makes the room less soft and more big-girl like :-)
And here is a view from her door...
The crib fits in that cubby like a glove. I think it is so cozy for her.
And here is the new dresser with plenty of hooks behind the door for Addie's million bags and purses. Like mother, like daughter :-)
I think the best part about this bedroom is the size. I was able to keep Addie's tea table set up and it goes perfectly with the rest of the room.
I used the extra wall in the room for her special, hand-painted dollhouse bookshelf. I know we really didn't need another bookshelf in her room (considering all the beautiful shelves my dad put in) but it just matched so perfectly...I figured one more shelf couldn't hurt. As you can see, we found plenty of toys to fill it :-)
Overall, I am THRILLED with how well everything transitioned from the nursery to Addie's big girl room. I now have everything organized and in its place and after only one night of confusion, Addie is perfectly content in her new bed. Here is a picture of the happy customer...
Now...in 2 1/2 weeks when we find out the sex of baby #2...it will be on to the next project!!
