Keira's Room

For the past few months Larry and I have been going back and forth about Keira's room. We couldn't decided if we were going to keep it a guest room or give it completely up to Keira. Eventually we decided to compromise and decorate it for both.
And if later, we change our minds to give it over to one or the other, we'll decide then.
Thus we want a color pallet that would easily accommodate a guest or Keira.

So for $20 I've made this room have touches of pink for my little girly-girl.
But only used it on things like her bed or on furniture and curtains that could be changed in a snap. I purchased a large yardage of fabric for $6 and then found a few matching baby bedding discounted at Target.

I've been meaning to recover the rocker for a long time.
And I LOVE the results!

I made a tie-back to help incorporate the plaid.

This bumper pad is Ben's old one. I made a long tube of fabric like a slip-cover for it.
I'd say the most time consuming part of this was sewing on each individual ribbon.

So in the corner of the room is our old queen size bed for guests.
With brown sheets and an olive green/chartreuse pillow.


Which helps blend in the colors from Keira's bedding.

Oh and yes, the bed has also become my changing place for Keira.
I think that changing tables are POINTless.
It's either the floor or a bedside for me!

And for another $13, a can of paint from Wal-mart, we'll make the walls a lighter green color!
I can't wait for the finished product!
